A Tribute to Papa

My papa

Papa thank you,papa thank you,i cant thank you enough,i owe you debt of life,debt of indeliable gratitude.i'm now a father,i undestand it all,thank you papa.

Never gave up,never cracked,never lagged behind,never slacked or loosed,never cried and cursed,never walked away,never failed to foot the bills and cleared the bins.

My papa,my papa,fine papa,i learnt you were lady's man in your youthful days,girls were fighting for spot in your heart.Your picture frame hanging on the wall speaks volumes.

I learnt mama won,because she won your heart and you won her heart too.My fine papa!i dey hail you,tuale!tuale tuale for my African papa.

Never gave up,never cracked,never lagged behind,never slacked or loosed,never cried and cursed,never walked away,never failed to foot the bills and cleared the bins.

My papa,my idol,my lord,my king,in whom i drew my breathe,your loin forged me,foisted me into my mother's womb.

You watchef me grew up,taught me everything i knew today,some of them came through flogging and shouting.

Never gave up,never cracked,never lagged behind,never slacked or loosed,never cried and cursed,never walked away,never failed to foot the bills and cleared the bins.

You never failed to checked on me every night,even,when was sick,you never left your love unspoken.

Your discipline forged my wings,i can fly today ,curtesy of my papa.

My papa wielded both carrot and cane like a music teacher,of which he was,seating on your shoulders was an honour.

Papa i owe you debt of gratitude,i owe you love and care.

Never gave up,never cracked,never lagged behind,never slacked or loosed,never cried and cursed,never walked away,never failed to foot the bills and cleared the bins.

My papa went to work at dawn ,only returns with tiny strength at dusk.yet, you foot all bills and bins

Of noise by hyper active children who care for hunger and horn of plays.

He never celebrated father's day nor birthday,he only celebrate work,work,work,pay bills,pay for bins,pay for burdens and boredoms .

In the midst of heavy burdens,heavy ladens,long list of bills ,he still spares his chins to smile at us,despite drained energy,he lifts us up on his shoulders with the last ounce of strength.

Never gave up,never cracked,never lagged behind,never slacked or loosed,never cried and cursed,never walked away,never failed to foot the bills and cleared the bins.

Papa thank you,papa thank you,i cant thank you enough,i owe you debt of life,debt of indeliable gratitude.i'm now a father,i undestand it all,thank you papa.

He's always there for us,under the rain he would came through,under heavy lightening mixed with thundering ,"look you will see papa,my young brother would say,only death could stop him"

Never gave up,never cracked,never lagged behind,never slacked or loosed,never cried and cursed,never walked away,never failed to foot the bills and cleared the bins.

Papa thank you,papa thank you,i cant thank you enough,i owe you debt of life,debt of indeliable gratitude.i'm now a father,i undestand it all,thank you papa.
