  • A FATHER’S DAY BREEZE

    I was raised by my Granddad

    He thought of me as his Lad

    He taught me right from wrong

    He also expressed in how I should get along

    My thoughts are his legacy he gave me

    “Be everything that you are meant to be”

    “Become a Commodity”

    It was all related for what my Granddad expected for me in life

    My Grandad had me practice typing 4 hours every day, and helped me build up my vocabulary intellectually
    The whole process was preparing for College Education

    My Granddad would often say “I don’t care other young people are doing, but for you it will be Higher Learning”

    Higher Learning it was

    He saw me being an achiever

    However, it was my Granddad being a Believer instilling assurance within me

    I thank my Granddad often for his influence

    If it wasn’t for my Granddad, I don’t think I would have pushed myself into expectations

    My Granddad’s legacy still holds true today in giving

    I made many strides of accomplishments

    All through the guidance of my Granddad, but I must give thanks to the Almighty above

    His spirit holds true within my heart

    I will never forget

    I am the Adult he said I would become

    My Granddad said, “You will remember this Old Man”

    I do, and have no reason not too

    So Happy Father’s Day in the Heavenly divine

    Your Grandson is going just fine

    Your teachings were tough

    Your influence was more than enough

    Your Legacy followed

    Happy Father’s Day beyond.
