FATHER I AM

You were conceived in my mind child 

I saw the vision of you before the meeting with your naturer

I planned ahead of time to guide you in this life

I wanted to be known as your only true father

On that faithful night I knew your mother

I trusted her to harbour my seed

I knew that she will do well in carrying you 

while you grow inside her belly

That day the name of my forefathers was yet again revived

The fruit of my loins, The beloved of your mother

I thanked the Almighty for the power of creation within the hour of love

My child you define me as a man 

It cuts me deep When you cry

You strengthened me by the look in your eyes

I was the wealthiest man in the land because of you my child

I could confidently stand before the council of man because of your respect

When the world has been cruel to you, I bear the the wisdom to encourage you

When you fall and your enemies scorn you

With my right hand I will lift you up and with the growling 

Of a lion I will scatter the adverse one

Your identity,  your history exists because of my understanding

I will not mislead you that many will name you bastard

I may not be rich, i may not be the lover of money and fame

Through my influence I will show you God

Be wise my child that I may give an answer to the dark master

My discipline is not unto the scarring of your spirit

You are my seed the fruit of your mother's loins

I am your father

When night comes I will be your light

When winter comes I will be your warmth

When lack comes I will be your plenty

When death comes I will be your life

My name is father and I am made the king to rule in righteousness

So that there may be peace  in my household

I am declared lord by your mother

My report unto the heavens stand true

My sleep in my ripe years should be a testimonial

For the tomb of my forefathers I will lay

In peace I will rest but when I resurrect again

I will surely father you for all eternity this time
