Always remembered

i write this poem on the remembrance to my father who passed away in a tragic accident.

Remembrance for my good days

My days with my pillar of life

My adviser who cared for me more than anyone;

He used to have love that was relatively equivalent to the Father in Heaven

Provided his family with the dearest protection

Like the duck shielding its chicks under its wings.

 

He was my shield

The shield that protected his family from the externalities

Protected his family from bad weathers that is providing shelter

No more in the world he exists

May be in the supernatural he do exist

But I have a million dollar question to him

The man that his voice was the only voice that comforts me in times of trouble,

The man who provided me with the map and the campus to life,

Now my direction have gone

My daddy was the best I ever seen on the world

Who is going to be substitute of the best?

Absolutely no one in the earth does exist.

 

When I’m alone with all my thoughts

I heard the echoes of you voice on my ears

I see you on my sight, on the comfort of your sofas with the glass of alcohol on your hand,

With the Madison cigarette on your lips

Sharing our experiences about what life is really about;

And the time you are on my sight

Tears run down my cheeks

Leaving whitish ways on my dearest cheeks

Pain grows each and every day other than moving to the better,

I always wipe bitterly for you my daddy.

 

My last memory is, ‘good bye’ in Corrocco motors Masvingo

Escorting your guy who was returning to Bindura University

What a lovely moment it was alone with my daddy

Giving advices to your beloved son,

Daddy may your soul rest in peace.

 

You are love and remembered my lovely daddy

In remembrance to my Daddy,

The late Moses Musengi.
