MY FATHER
My father is a man with a big smile,
But sometimes when he’s angry he can go wild.
Although he works abroad we miss him,
He sometimes appears in my dreams.
In the evening we talk to him on Skype,
or sometimes on WhatsApp we type.
We chat , laugh and joke with him daily
Or occasionally he tells us a nice story .
But when Dad’s back home
All we do with him is go out and roam.
He gets us chocolates, clothes and toys
which fills our hearts with joy
At night the house is peaceful and quiet
My brothers and I cuddle and hold our dad tight
Coz Dad’s down only for a few days.
When he flies over the ocean far away,
the routine will continue in the same old way .

Growing up, we would only get to see our Dad four times a year. He worked abroad to support our family . So whenever Dad would come down for a few weeks, we would make the best use of that time to spend precious moments as a family. Well my Dad has been home for the past few years now, so times aren’t the same but I’m just glad that he’s not away from us.. it makes us feel complete and whole now.
