ForeverMissed

He never made a fortune, or a noise In the world where men are seeking after fame; But he had a healthy brood of girls and boys Who loved the very ground on which he trod. They thought him just little short of God; Oh you should have heard the way they said his name – ‘Father.’ There seemed to be a loving little prayer In their voices, even when they called him ‘Dad.’ Though the man was never heard of anywhere, As a hero, yet somehow understood He was doing well his part and making good; And you knew it, by the way his children had Of saying ‘Father.’ He gave them neither eminence nor wealth, But he gave them blood untainted with a vice, And opulence of undiluted health. He was honest, and unpurchable and kind; He was clean in heart, and body, and in mind. So he made them heirs to riches without price – This father. He never preached or scolded; and the rod – Well, he used it as a turning pole in play. But he showed the tender sympathy of God. To his children in their troubles, and their joys. He was always chum and comrade with his boys, And his daughters – oh, you ought to hear them say ‘Father.’ Now I think of all achievements ‘tis the least To perpetuate the species; it is done By the insect and the serpent, and the beast. But the man who keeps his body, and his thought, Worth bestowing on an offspring love-begot, Then the highest earthly glory he was won, When in pride a grown-up daughter or a son Says ‘That’s Father.’

A remembrance day for my dear father,
A festive period like this December,2023 you Always call me dad and ask me how we are going to celebrate new year but that sad year 2018 came and l did not see it that will be the very last year you will ever celebrate festive period with me dad, it came as a surprise the following year dad JANUARY 8TH precisely on Tuesday when l was called that you are gone and l remember telling you on 7th january,2019 when l rushed you to ADAMS HOSPITAL that dad you want to leave me but you decline and said tony l will not leave, l decided to stay with dad through the night but you ask me to go home because you don't want to die in my presence daddy. daddy buy why.
Everything you told me dad about the philosophy of life and the history of your life from EDO state down to Lagos has always stick to my mind. You told me everything that a son could ever imagine. You trusted me to an extent that you entrust your bank details to me even when you left this world People betrayed your trust because they thought l was one behind your bank account. l live everyday in pain in my heart dad because of what people thought i do with your money. l Pray to God to keep you in his blossom place that he has kept for you in paradise. l really don't no when this your sudden demise will be out of my life, l live everyday thinking that you are still part of this world.
This world is truly what you painted for me many years ago, Tony , Aziegbe what you called me when you were alive to always believe in myself, l have lived everyday to believed in myself dad.
Thank you very much dad for the word of encouragement and the word you told me in my dreams when you need to talk to me, l will always keep it dad.
