What my dad would say?

My dad would say: “be lucky my boy”,

As he is no longer here

yet I can hear those words so aptly as I feel calmness not fear.

Where I am going to a challenging meeting,

And through God I know I’ll be fine,

I can hear my dad’s voice right now, through the hope and willingness to shine.

He was my friend

he was my hope in God too,

he was my edification

And my chance to appreciate elevation.

Anytime, the time is here

and I choose to think these things through,

I need to stay positive, as I can hear my Dad’s encouraging words: “go on kid! you’ll be alright, as I know you”.
