One of those people should know
A dream only one person believed
Pay attention as the poem flows
He taught me to never lose hope
That is part of the process
I fell, got up and continue
That is what he calls progress
Who is this person you may ask
Strong in soul, brave in fight
Clean in heart, brilliant in mind
Like old men in black and white
All the tough times together
And nothing could stop us
This whole poem is about...
Be patience, there is no rush
Those days I spent at the hospital
Thinking I was alone in the fight
But he never broke his promise;
Stood by my side every single night.
Finally, we got an answer
One we had been waiting for long
The UoM accepted my application,
He knew here is where I belonged
But this is what life is all about
One day you nearly kiss the sky
And the next you hit the ground,
Trying not to cry
Many reflexions as I write;
What have I learned?
After all these stories,
We are reaching an end
I will finish what we started
That was his last desire;
I will graduate with honours,
You have aways been my prior
No matter how far the sky is
DonĀ“t you dare to say goodbye
Legends never disappear
As well as heroes never die
Thousands of km in between us
And you will never see me sad
Because I spent all my time
Trying to make you happy, dad.
