TO ALL FATHERS (POETRY) BY EZEKIEL MOSES

My father my father
My father my hero
My teacher my mentor
Like a rock you stood tall and strong
Faithful and bold
Fearless and brave
Through the rain through the storm
Through the wind through the weight

My father my father
Man of purpose full vision
Takes no non sense yet so loving
My father my father
My model my mentor
A lion you are that rocks the jungle
Your wisdom speaks louder than the folly of a fool
My father my father
Protector from pain and danger
Like the mother hen protects her chicks
From the ravaging eagle
You came, You saw, you conquer
Fearless soldier now make clay still and quiet
Your legacy speaks to generations unborn
My father my father
Through it all you stood
Through imperialism
Through Biafra
With pangs of pain
With courage you bore the loss
Full of hope full of bliss and peace
Through your boarders
A land so fruitful
A people so truthful
Our currency so great
Corruption a thing of shame
Darkness a thing of the past
Then your children with one voice will speak
God bless our land and future

My father my father
My father my hero
Black and bold
Full of truth
My father my father
Yesterday today tomorrow
Is all determined
By the truth we live and do today
My father my father
Your memories forever will stay
Till we all become
Alive in hope of the future
My father live forever
The greatest father truly you are.  




Wow! Such a great poem I wrote some times ago specially dedicated to my father-in-law: Mr. Oshinkomaya, Cute Saguy for his new born baby boy, my to me; EZEKIEL MOSES and all fathers in the world
