MY FATHER

By -



Trials truly reveal the true face behind every man
We are all covered with a mask
Some never get to unmask themselves
Others have them ripped off their faces leaving a scar
Still life cant be fair to all men
It all seems like a plan

I found a man

Calm at all times
Always covered in smiles
Life seemed a smooth ride
All from afar

But behind came a heavy tide
Waves coming in at all sides
Forces hitting with different strikes
I couldn’t imagine the size
It was very large
I feared for I thought he might slack

But through it all
He wouldn’t fall
His calm game so strong
I was awed
He kept on smiling through it all
I was overwhelmed with so much admiration.

Through it all, he won this fight with a smile

Google describes vivid as "giving powerful feelings or strong clear images in the mind, to evoke" and right there and then, I could feel the dots connecting.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING, and what do you want for Christmas? You know there's like the dream to all move overseas and do something worthwhile, but yo, nothing beats coming back with all the swag to see your homeboys and homegirls, I mean nothing beats Christmas in Nigeria.. Where else will you see Chinedu Manchester, Bayo Malay or Daniel Finland celebrating Christmas together? Or is it Abdul, God'sglory, and Ogunniyi all hanging out at the mall, different religions, one celebration..
