Words Of A Father! Poem by Doreenda Nikoi Kotei

The words of a Father are life!
He says what's fair and just to you,
If only you listen, you'll escape many traps in life,
You'll have less problems to endure,
And you'll be far ahead of many people,
Make listening to your Father your top priority!

The words of a Father are Truth!
He says what's right and true to you,
Papa's directions are discerning, deep and thoughtful,
Daddy's examples are tried and tested,
Always give ears to your Father's words!

The words of a Father are Lessons!
Daddy has trode on shaky grounds that you're yet to travel on,
He has experienced difficult situations that you're yet to go through,
Papa has fought challenging battles that you're yet to face,
His pieces of advice are sharp, strong end powerful,
Honour and revere your Father at all times!

The words of a Father are Wisdom!
They are glory and honour to those who take heed and pay attention,
Health and happiness to those who live and abide by them,
Riches and wealth to those walk his talk,
And blessings and favour to those who uphold Daddy in high esteem.

The words of a Father are Peace!
Papa knows how to let go,
He understands when to ignore and overlook,
He perceives when to consider and compromise,
Dad makes his actions and inactions speak much louder than his words.
Show Daddy the best love, sacrifice and service you can ever render to him,
For life is full of darkness without a Father!
I love you Daddy.
