Me & My Family

As I lay on my bed this evening
I wondered what is this life m living
A life far away from my own
Far from the place I called my home
A home that was filled with love n care
A place where I learnt to pray n share

The moments I lived as a little child
The laughter n tears all seemed so mild
In the arms of my Dad I used to be
But his unconditional love I failed to see
My dada was gentle, kind & true
Enthusiastic & jovial & found among few
He danced gracefully at any party we'd go to
With my mama in his arms taking steps two by two
Then came a day when we had to bid goodbye
Dada I miss you & your thoughts make me cry
Just want to tell u Dada with all my heart
That u were d best Dad n it was hard to part
I know you are up there watching over us all
Praying n interceding for us all
I miss u Da, I wish u were here
To wipe away my tear, n calm all my fear

My Mama lady full of life n cheer
Always brings smiles to all near n dear
Goes out of her way just to please
Rag pickers, an abandoned parent or a destitute child with ease
Her heart so full, so full of love
A chosen mama for us from the one above
Mama you are the most priceless gift to me
A loving child I promise to be
You are loved by people big n small
Another Mother Teresa you are to all
I pray that your wish of the old aged home come true
and am sure ma no one will be unhappy with a founder like u

My 3 brothers are strong pillars for me
Osborne, Russell, Adrian are their names you see
I couldn’t ask God for anything more
He knew that i needed these bros for sure

Obu Ba my eldest darling brother
He's kind, concerned n caring like a father
Always with a million dollar smile on his lips
Loved playing with kids n showing them his magic tricks
A man with a real, real big heart
Always giving without even keeping a part

Rachu Ba, the second in line
Always writes poems n gets them to rhyme
Never came across anyone like him
Honest, helpful n truly genuine
Bro I know I can always count on you
Be it my bill, house or anything... Nothing happens without u

Adu Ba, the third and last of all
Always there for you whenever you call
A spiritual help n guide is he
Specializing even in shopping good stuff for me
We've fought, we've cried, we've laughed n played
But as the day end it was our loved that stayed..

These r the ones who moulded me
Who made me know what I ought to b
My brothers my pillars, d strength that I hold
It is you who tot me how to b bold
I love you all and thank god for blessing me
With brothers so wonderful, so loving n free

I know u may feel this poem long n lengthy
But this is my poem based on ME & MY FAMILY .....
