My Dad Poem by Bakary S. Sonko

Growing up I have always spectacle
If gods are not incarnate in men
Now I just realized it did
For you are one such man

Your words are of wisdom
Your friendship a guidance
So caring and present
Show us how to love and share

Performing the role of a mother
Hunger has never be present in our home
Your present fills our belly with laughter and joy
Your gentle touch heals a wound
Yet a man of principle
Who wants the best of all
He is best of all
My dad my hero.
