My tears seem to be your joy,

My happiness seems to be your life,

My pain seems to be your motivation,

My love seems to be your world,

But my words seem to be nothing to you.

My tears aren’t for the joy

My happiness isn’t for the life

My pain ain’t for being remembered,

But my love for you is my world,

My words are for growth.

I cry because of death,

I’m happy because of time,

I feel pain because time is temporary,

But the “Love” of a father is forever,

Those are my words,

Not just words…

I will forever be your father,

Siyandile

Your father
