My Dad, My Hero! Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Daddy once said
Never marry for riches
One day, I'll not be there
Patience can boil a stone
Never marry two wives
Pay now, play tomorrow

Never look down on anyone
Trust but suspect everyone
Always have a meeting with yourself
Remember the son of whom you are
Never depend of inheritance

My Dad once said
Let love lead always
Forgive, but be wise
Never sleep qorh another's wife
Run away from another's husband
Always think before you talk

When i remember my Dad's words
Never borrow what you can't forget
Study hard and avoid distractions
Failure is a pathway success
Be consistent, insistent and persistent
No gift is ever free, even your parents'

If not for his counsel
Where would I be?
Who would have become?
He said, there is greateness in me
Your time will come, wait
Patience is a virtue, possess it
Procrastination is a lazy man's apology

Dad had words on marble
Not limited to these here-under
Every problem has expiry date
Believe in yourself
Never allow another define yout future
Above all, trust and believe God
My Dad, My Hero!
