Fare Thee Well.

I'll never know how it feels to have my dad walk me down the aisle,

I'll never know how it feels to have my dad hold my child, and love him the way he loved me.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I owe to you all that I am,

For you never lost a moment to teach me things...

Things people fear,

Things that are the very essence of life.

I looked forward to the holidays,

For this sole purpose.

You had the warmest heart,

You never missed visitors in your house - wanting to tap from your wisdom.

I will not mourn,

I will celebrate - for you taught me how to be strong.

I rest assured that the pain and suffering is no more,

But I surely will miss you.

As you hang out with the angels, 

Say hi to Muthiani, and tell him that his lil munchkin misses him every morning.

Say hi to Nduku Mwengi, 

Tell her I still have our lil notes.

Say hi to Sheila Nthenya,

Tell her I remember every laugh shared.

Say hi to Darlington Maranga,

Tell him he will live forever in my dancing heart.

I will cry, I will break,

But I will thank God for every moment shared.
