FATHERS' DAY

Greetings and Happy Fathers' Day

do tell my two investments I love them so very much

that i am more than blessed to be their Dad and father

tell them too that the best is still ahead of them

assure them that I shall be a Dad 

to them 

as I have been a father Figure to many


tell Naimah-the-Smart that she is the first of my loins 

apple of my eye and the joy of my heart

she will go places and conquer the world

and I will be her greatest cheerleader

always


remind the children 

that never will I ever leave them behind

that I shall lead

where I must go ahead 

my hand they'll have to hold


and even though 

they may stumble as they must - sometimes

they must never fall thru' the cracks 

in my watch


tell Hawi-the-Great 

he is the anchor and the baton

the great stabiliser 

(and) the calmer of the tempests

the stream that becomes a river 

in him the great Rangach stands firm

endures

swings open... 

in expectant continuity 

the source that became the/a river

in Hawi, Dala endures.


Tell the children I love them now

as I have in the past

and will always

may they always find meaning in this 

and future Fathers' Days

everyday

In Memoriam

Insh~Allah!
