FIRSTBORN (a father's tribute)


Time flies fast but leaves vivid memories

From the day you first saw light 

In a small clinic to the present time

 

From a fragile infant to a strong-willed adult

From a dependent child to a self-reliant woman 

Up in the ladder of success

 

The failures and fiascos, letdowns and breakdowns

You’ve gone through are life’s realities 

To test your mettle and strength

 

But you’re not alone in all the hurts you suffered

For every tear, sob and cry pierced my heart 

And in silence I suffered too

 

Life’s too precious to be ensnared 

In trials and vicissitudes

So go on with faith, courage and optimism

 

Nurture your kind and loving heart

For LOVE is God’s greatest gift to you 

And what matters most.
