Letter To Alufa (My Grandfather) Poem by Alufa Oke Joshua

Writing not in tears
but in pain of you
not seeing what you
made me

letter to alufa

i lost judgement because
you are no-more
yet my heart speak
of judgement day
sitting and praying
for me to come home
early at night is
no-more

letter to alufa

i sleep alone hoping
you are with me
i forget to shut the
door hoping you are
coming back
O what a painful life
a month to my success
i lost you
after investing in me
you walk at of all

letter to alufa
what a great man
though poor but not lost
an icon is gone
a great historian is
far gone, all history
you told me
only yours keep hurting me
i vow not to cry
because you live in me
at 21yrs i lost
the most important
person to me
at 21yrs i felt i should end my life
at 21yrs my world
was lonely
thank God for his
son who gave me
what you cann't give
me

letter to alufa

papa Alufa i believe
in your focus at 80yrs
you still believe in
yourself up to your
dying years you still
have focus even at 90yrs
papa Alufa i hope
you find peace in
heaven because my new
friend is the owner
of peace and rest
