UNDYING LOVE

                              

As long as the sun brightens our day

Has long as there is a cloud upon my head

As long as it rains and water the earth

As long as there are stars that beautifies the sky at night

And wind that blows each new day

I will not stop loving you

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

I have always been in love with you

Been so lonely anytime I am not with you

I have been acting so brave lately

But I can’t stay a week without seeing you

Its’ been hard keeping up without you

I haven’t found the right words to tell you how much I feel about you

You and I can never be apart, you are the answers to my prayers

I will never let you slip away from me

Because you are the reason why my dreams are coming true

There is no prescription to ease the way I feel about you

The antidote to my heart have always been you

All the passions I had were all inspired by you

You are so perfect in ever thing you do

You always smile back at me when am wrong or get angry at you

If I can’t appreciate you, then I will be a fool

I have made a promise that I will never stop thinking about you

I will give my whole heart and my shoulder for you to lean on

My world is a better place today, because I have you

MY HERO

In my heart you have always been my hero

At the break of dawn you are already awake

And work so hard to take care of me

You did not have the best job

But you always provide meal on the table
Took care of all the needs of the family 

I am sorry at my youth, I proved to be stubborn

I put you through much pain and embarrassment 

Thought I was keeping my pride

I never knew you wanted the best for me

But I am glad you did not spared the rod

It is what has guided me to become independent today

I know I have not been a good kid

You where patient, and knew I was going to come around

I never understood why you made reference to the past

Yet glad I listened; despite I did not understand

You taught me that we can make our own future

We all had a chance to fashion our goals
Towards achieving success in life 

Who will ever thought I will be writing a poem about you

Neighbors criticized me that I will amount to no good

Today their faces are filled with shame and disbelief 
Mouth locked for fear of self conviction
When they see me walking with my head up high 

Nothing I give back can compensate for your love

I can not repay back all the sacrifices you made for my sake

I am so sorry life has never been fair to you
You are my hero, the sun that shines in my dark life

I would have been lost if it had not been for you

Thank you for helping me to succeed in life

Because of you, I am proud to be a fulfilled man
I will forever love and cherish you dad
