please, show some love as today marks another watershed of his procreation...happy birthday, dad
Through Almighty God and then, through his provenance, i was born.
He nurtured unsparingly...with his love he showered on us,
He saved his hard-earn remuneration for his progeny,
Despite some encroaching personal exigency.
His admonitions are incisive...although, tinged with proverbs and homily.
Several times i have perceived his strain to retain the bond of the family by providing the essentials to ensure continuity.
Several times, he would call at OOU (undergraduate school)
Without prior notice just to have an inkling of my shrouded acts. (winks)
Though, always alerted by my caring mother,
the two lovey-dovey like a brother and a sister.
a lot i have been able to learn from them
to pass on to my generations yet unborn,
a bugle of praise will not suffice,
a carillon of encomium will still pale
for all you did to make me a man,
letting it out without a vocal ban
On this day, Baba mi, i appreciate you as it marks another watershed of your continuous existence.
I pray that the good Lord will preserve, conserve and sustain you.
His presence will never leave you.
You will continue to live in virile health and state of mind.
All help to wish my pater familias a happy birthday.
