“OUR FATHER”

YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO MAKE IT THRU LIFE,

I STILL REMEMBER ROSEMARY HILLS AND HOW YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO RIDE MY NEW BIKE,

ON TOP OF THE WORLD YOU ALWAYS KEPT ME,

RAISED US ALL TO KNOW LOVE, BE LOVE, AND IN GOD ALWAYS BELIEVE,

THOUGH WE HAD TOUGH TIMES, SOMETIMES WE DISAGREED, AND WITH WORDS WE FOUGHT,

DAD I LOVE YOU DEARLY AS YOU ALWAYS GAVE US YOUR TRUEST THOUGHTS,

YOU BARED NOTHING LESS TO US THAN YOUR SOUL ITSELF,

ALWAYS TELLING US AND SHOWING US YOU’D BE HERE FOREVER TO GUIDE AND HELP,

A MAN THAT STOOD THRU HIS LIFE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM HIS OWN PEERS,

HAS UNDOUBTEDLY GROWN UP TO BECOME WHAT GOD INTENDED NATURALLY FOR HIM IN HIS OWN TIME AND YEARS,

IN HIS EYES I NEVER SAW A TEAR,

MY FATHER TAUGHT ME TO ALWAYS FACE LIFE HEAD ON AND NEVER RUN FROM MY FEARS,

“BE STRONG!”

NO MATTER WHAT SON MOM AND DAD WILL ALWAYS BE RIGHT HERE WE WOULD ALWAYS HEAR,

I REMEMBER MY FIRST YEAR IN COLLEGE WHEN YOU PULLED ME ASIDE,

TOOK ME UNDER YOUR WING AND SHARED WITH ME YOUR DEEPEST DREAMS INSIDE,

DAD TOLD ME NOT TO GIVE UP AS THE CHALLENGES OF SCHOOL FOR ME BECAME HARD,

HE SAID FAILURE IS A CHOICE SON – ONE YOUR MOTHER AND I PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE TO CHOOSE, AND THANKFULLY LOOK AT ALL YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY SON – YOU HAVE COME TOO FAR!

A MAN HEAVILY RESPECTED, AND LOVED BY MANY,

ASK DAD FOR HIS VIEW POINT ON MAKING THE WORLD BETTER AND THEY ARE WISE, INTELLIGENT, AND PLENTY,

VERY COMPASSIONATE AND UNDERSTANDING, OUR FATHER IS METHODICAL, AND HE WILL LISTEN TO YOU AND COMPROMISE,

VERY SYMPATHETIC, VERY EMPTHATIC, VERY STRONG, AND DISCIPLINED POPS WILL NEVER STEER YOU WRONG – DAD ALWAYS WANTED THE BEST FOR OUR LIVES,

GROWING UP I ASPIRED TO BE JUST LIKE YOU,

TO WALK THAT STRAIGHT LINE WITH NO RUN-INS WITH THE LAW, AND AVOID ALL OF LIFES POSSIBLE MISQUES,

NOW I AM A FATHER AND AM AS PROUD AS CAN BE,

THANKFUL FOR ALL THE MANY LESSONS YOU PASSED ALONG TO US AND I NOW SHARE THE SAME LESSONS WITH MY OWN FAMILY,

OUR FATHER, MY DAD,

NOW HOLDS A NEW NAME RE-WRITTEN TO GRANDPA

AS HE LAUGHS,

SEEING ALL THE HARD WORK PLACED INTO YOUR VERY OWN KIDS,

NOW WE PASS ON THE SAME WORDS OF WISDOM TO OURS FROM YOU AS THEY ARE NOW EMBEDDED FOREVER APART OF OUR HERITAGE,

I CONTINUE TO LEARN EVERYDAY – DAD YOU HAVE INSTILLED IN ME A PROUD SON,

NEVER FORGETFUL OF OUR FATHER,

WE SAY AMEN IN OUR NATIVE HAITIAN TONGUE,

EVERYTHING I CAN GIVE, EVERYTHING I CAN NOW SAY,

IS IN ODE TO YOU DAD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU SHOWED AND TOLD ME-

NOW LET US BOW OUR HEADS AS WE PRAY….

OUR FATHER.
