Miss you Papa
It's been a month since you quietly slipped away. I heard your voice in the wind today I gathered myself in my corner office And shed a tear or two for you I miss your warm smile Your tight hugs Your gentle hands I miss your annoying cough from your damaged lungs for smoking more than half your life. The sound of the whipping salulima to chase away the flies I carried on with life so sure that you'd be around for a long time You were the constant corner pole in our home when Nana passed. Your smile, your laugh, your presence brought joy to all of us. Thank you Grandpa For the simple things For being by my side To help and support me through everything To celebrate my successes For the hugs as you help me understand my problems and accept my defeats Thank you for teaching by example and for helping me see the value of hard work, integrity and good judgement It hurts I'm hurting Your spirit will live forever ...
