I want to have a conversation with my father cause I just have some questions to ask, by now he must have seen it all. I want to know if I’ve been making the right moves. A conversation with my father to tell him how hard life has been, to tell him we all miss him terribly. I want to sit and talk with him to discuss the future, daddy what should i do? How do i do this? Will it make sense if i do that? A conversation so he can look at me and say you are my son, you will be okay. I want to talk to him cause our talks end up in prayers always. So he can pray for me and bless my future family and tell me yes my son she’s the one here to be by your side and hold you down.
I have a lot of questions i will ask but i want the conversation to come with a long hand shake and an extremely long hug, a talk with my father to feel his presence, to feel his body heat and hear his voice through his chest, to hear him sing his praise and worship songs and have him lay his right hand on my head and his left hand on my chest and speak peace into my life. To hear him say ‘Take it down one thousand’ when everything around me is beyond hectic.
Daddy tell me how to be strong when all of me feels so weak, some days i just don’t have it in me at all. All i really want is just one last conversation to just be able to even see him again, let him call my name, let him tell me he is doing fine and hear him say i love you my son, you are royalty my son, you are destined for greatness obinna. Time doesn’t heal all wounds, time won’t permit me just one last conversation.’
