Fathers, We Need Your Love Poem by Babalola Jubril

We are your children,
Why did you neglect us?
Every seconds, minutes, hours,
We wait anxiously for your love,

That your love is our watchword,
We write it down in our future,
Inscribe it in our daily routine,
Where are you, fathers?
Your children are waiting helplessly for your shadow,

It's your love we need,
It's your love that wakes our mind,
Give our soul strength,
It builds our courage,
Fix our confidence firmly,
With you we can face the world boldly,
But where are you fathers?
