Father's Day Veracity Poem by Thapelo Lebesa

Show me your face and  let me not be a foreigner in my own body,
For my world without you would tremble right before my feet,
So i need you right beside me every moment of my heart beat,
LORD your grace for me is enough,
And i thank you for a father that was sent from high above,

He gave me love like no other,
But i could not contemplate my thoughts of him being a true father,
Let alone being a brother,
And as for a friend he would not even bother,

See my world needs you right now,  
But not just as a provider,     NO.
I need a father, a brother, but most importantly i need a friend,
Someone to comfort me when my world seems to end,
I walk around with a void that screams your name every time i try to fill it up with somebody that' s not you,
And what i' m telling you is true,
For when you told me you love me i never said i love you too,
So is it too late to spill my emotions on the floor for you?
I want you to know how i feel about you,
So let me take you to a journey through mind,
For my identity in him i find,
See my father is like a super hero to me,
If only he could express himself this is what he would say to me,
" My son, from the moment you were born i made a promise that i will always be there for you,
I will keep you safe and make sure you feel loved every single day,
And i' m willing to step out of my comfort zone just so that you can get your own" ,
But since he is a MAN, words dnt come easy to him,
But he somehow has a way of expressing his love for me without even saying a single word,
See that' s why i love him so much,
For words can not explain the love he has for me,
And if walls could talk they probably would say a different story,
But i know my father for who he is and i love him for the man he made me today.
