Words fail me
Tongue tied and speechless
My eyes fail me
Even with the brightest light above me
Behind me and beside me
My feet fail me
My 6ft 3 frame stagger along like a tailless kite
My mind fail me
It keeps wandering around like lustful eyes
Wooo…man!
Your strength I can’t describe
Mentally you are deeper than the Marianas
You are a rock and a light
When friends fail me
You remain close as two coats of paint
Wooo...man!
You made the childless me a father
Always reminding me not to make our child fatherless
Not through death or ill health
But through neglect as it is quite easy to take things for granted
My guts fail me
Even after this big bowl of powdered yam
I still feel hungry and in need of you
Need your companion and your wonderful smile
My back fail me
Years of lifting and carrying so much emotional baggage
Scarred for life and left with an open wound
Scared that I might fail again
Not get it right
Wooo...man!
When everything else fail
The love we share will never fail us.
