Who is my Dad?

19:52 Edit This 0 Comments »

The one whose part of traits and character I possess
The one who smiled with joy the day I made him to be called a father
The one who patiently watched me take my first steps in life
The one who left me at that nursery school door everyday
The one who was amongst the happy people after I said the alphabet correctly
He is my Dad

The one who got my report cards after my mother hands them over to him
The one who showered me with gifts everytime I progressed in class
The one who would back me up whenever I needed defence
The one who brought extremely delicious food from the hotel conventions he attended
The one who took me to his office and let me play around while hes working
He is my Dad

The one who was filled with Joy when I was selected to secondary school
The one who gave me extra pocket money when I needed it
The one who convienced me and told me that 1 day I will be a doctor
The one who taught me to be tough when tough situations come
He is my Dad

The one who will be the father of that girl walking infront to get her medical degree
The one who will be happy and filled with joy
The one who say "my daughter is a doctor !"
The one who will one day hold my hand and walk me down the isle
The one who will tell him to take good care of me
The one who will be a proud father and Grandfather
He is my Dad

Farewell dedication

Its unbelievable how time flies . People come in our lives and sometimes we don't cherish them to the extent of them knowing how much they mean to us . SFC has had people who came and made changes .They have been our friends , advisers, teachers ,sisters , parents and a lot more .Its never the right time to say good bye to people you have known and who have become part of our family .

To Yamikani:
Many things to say about you but hey , I don't want to be biased do I ? You were one of those strong pillars of SFC , you always came up with ideas on how to make SFC better . You are a good listener and a good motivator . We shall miss your short motivating speeches . Remember you said that one of the things you want to do in life is publish a book ? Go for it girl ! SFC will buy your book and we shall require you autograph when that piece get published .Its going to be weird because you were one of those people I would speak chichewa too , I think I would call you a white Elephant . We shall miss you Yamie !!


To Manyo:
The first time I saw Manyo was at All Nations church. He was there playing a keyboard with a smile on his face . I saw him move his fingers on that keyboard with talent . You always made praise and worship at SFC fun with the old Piano which you always played . The preaching and the encouragement you gave us shall always be remembered .There are things that make you unique your smile, jokes and your piano melodies . Please continue carrying that SFC flag everywhere you go . We shall miss you Manyo !

To Prissy:
Our friend ,and my mother . She was my mum and part of our crazy family here . We shall never forget her contributions to SFC . You when you go to SFC on a freezing friday and you see her make jokes make ,you smile and make you feel at home . Prissy's famous photo was the one she took with Paul during the winter camp in Moscow . That is how memories are supposed to be , full of smiles and laughter . Remember that you have a huge assignment ahead o, let that SFC spirit glow and grow in Lesotho as it did here.We shall Miss you Prissy!!

To Paul :
Hahaha ! I cant help it but laugh! You were part of my crazy family but I am not sure if you are my Dad or my grandfather because Vitu and Prissy didnt explain properly . These last few weeks at SFC were crazy , you know why ? Every time you saw me the first thing you would ask is " where are my samoosas?" . Paul no hie or something but that would be a question I would get till I silenced you with the samoosa. You were one of the best translators SFC has ever had , it was one heck of a good job you did .SFC will miss you for that and your preaching but I will miss an escort back home and a companion.

To Solome :
Your are the reason why I became one of the best cake bakers . I am not boasting but Solome's advise that cold snowing friday helped me improve on how to bake my cakes. Its amazing how teaching people something can make them do something greater. I am thankful for that and for you being selfless, when it comes to recipes people are selfish but you taught me something I proudly do . SFC shall me those jokes you made with Edem and Josephine . Remember how you made Edem your slave on women's day ? That's a memory to cherish and laugh at .Carry that Selfless character wherever you go .We shall miss you !!!

To Josephine :
I cant believe we shall not hear Solome complaining of you bullying her . You were such a funny bully alright ! So the Jolof we had on the last SFC party is the last from you ? Your Jolof shall be greatly missed Josie . But hey I am not trying to say that we wont miss you , we shall greatly miss you .Remember how you hosted us in your room during the women's Day party ? We were all in your room trying to make ourselves beautiful and you did all you could , and you helped us with the make up and getting prepared . I think I can call you Josie the navigator because when you are told to lead something , you make sure that its done perfectly .Carry that all the way to Ghana and make people there know about SFC .We shall Miss you Josie!


To Vitumbiko:
" If you think my voice is terrible check your ears" , that's you assuring us when you sang on that talent show .I can say Vitu shall be remembered for being crazy and that spiced up SFC and made it fun. Shes always been my sitting mate in SFC and whenever we sit together we are explosive !You were like one of the mothers of SFC , partner in crime and just that person you would feel comfortable when you're talking to. Vitu , Yami and Christine were my elder Malawian sisters here at SFC, with you guys I had fun and I forgot that I am in Russia because all that Malawian madness and songs would be sang on our way home .SFC shall miss your Voice and a lot more .

To Christine:
One of my Elder Malawian sisters . You spiced SFC every time you there . The songs you sang and that voice shall be greatly missed .You were the first person who introduced me to SFC and that I am so grateful for because it could have taken time for me to know what SFC was about if you did not invite me along .That heart of inviting people to a religious gathering should not stop , it should be carried with you as you are going home and as you will work with the patients.I used to love the chit chat on our way home . Dancing in the road like kids , it really made me feel like a kid again .I will miss you and Yamie and Vitu because you guys are going home the same time and its going to be hard to get used to the fact that you guys wont be there .SFC shall miss you!!

Every man in the world

Rolling in Bed ,laughing myself to sleep
How did I get myself here ?
Perusing through this book of thoughts
Its pages filled with unexplained ecstasy
You're every man in the world
You're my fantasy , My reality and my dream come true

This spark of your absence has set my heart ablaze
Nothing seems to quench the fire
An SOS to call the fire brigade
There comes the fireman !
Extinguish the blaze with your presence
Put out the fire in my heart with your touch

You are my cardiologist
Your love just gave me an open heart surgery
My heart beats differently because of you
Its rhythm so calm and clear
Your love leaves me numb like Novocaine
You are every man in the world

This world we live in

"Oh Lord !Here we go again ! He is drunk and now all the peace is gone.I wish my body was as hard as metal , none of those blows and slaps would penetrate in me " Wishes of an abused woman hiding in a closet.Every day she lives in fear of her life , the man she once knew and married has transformed into a monster .All that fairy tale is now a nightmare , he leaves the house with no money and food .He comes home drunk and asks for dinner , but where is the money for food if he did not leave any ? How can she earn money if he banned her for seeking a job?He beats her up like a boxer in a ring , who can help her ? shes a silent screamer.

"How I wish I would have a descent meal .How greatful I would be if I would not eat remains from other peoples gourmet.How long will this continue" Wishes of a hungry boy . Reluctant as the day breaks , what will he eat ? His parents can not afford to feed him and his other numerous siblings . Survival of the fittest is his motto , he moves in the street looking for something to silence his rumbling tummy.He wishes that those people who complain about eating the same food over and over would be thankful .
"shiii!This wont take long , lets keep this our little secret .If you tell your mother or anyone you and your mummy are going to die!" He says that a he unzips his trouser and pull down his pants.Mercilessly deflowering this poor child as she says begs him to leave her alone "Ouch !This hurts please!" she tearfully watches him penetrate..What can she do?She is so helpless and weak to defend herself .She tries telling her mother but she doesn't believe her little girl's story , she's ashamed and angry of her mothers disbelief.
