B.G. Stephen - A Son's Ode
A song made by Quintessential
Stephen, my father, B.G. of our home
A beacon of peace wherever you roam
At number sixty-six on John Hunt Way
In Livingstone where our childhood would play
You made us feel like kings and queens so grand
Six children blessed beneath your gentle hand
Every evening after school you'd check our books with care
Your dedication showed us love was always there
B.G. Stephen, bigger guy with the biggest heart
You gave us wealth that money couldn't start
Father, you're the man I hope to be
Half your strength would be enough for me
Your study lined with wisdom, wall to wall
Your calmness stands majestic, proud and tall
Stephen, B.G., beacon shining bright
You turned our house into a home of light
After supper you would call out "Next!"
And we'd all answer "Tea!" - our ritual text
Your humor kept us warm through every night
Your love for Mother was our guiding light
The greatest gift you gave, loving her so true
Showing sons and daughters what real men do
When I refused Monze boarding school that year
No anger came, just understanding clear
From town to town you searched to find my way
Your patience, Father, guides me to this day
Father, you're the man I hope to be
Half your strength would be enough for me
Your study lined with wisdom, wall to wall
Your calmness stands majestic, proud and tall
Stephen, B.G., beacon shining bright
You turned our house into a home of light
Your son Lubi loves you, Dad, forever more
B.G. Stephen, you're the one I most adore
