For G.L
Wanting to get to the finish line .You said it you did it
So many unexpected losses we could never recuperate the loss factor
We move forward in knowing they will be remembered correctly
An achievement to make it this far ,
From marathons to British gas work
Cooking over the stove after a night shift
To delivering catalogues around our city
Asking how my day was whilst your on the sofa trying to catch a cat nap
Taking me McDonalds and ordering rum even though you know they will never serve alcohol.
Playing football in the park , Making it to every football game I played in
The discipline .
The logic training ,
Never teaching me your secret recipe how to make fried dumplings .
Taking me back home to your country and showing me what is mine ,
Letting my mind expand that I am more than British I am half Jamaican ,
Showing me what we may have small in England we have a lot in Jamaica .
Above all putting your family first ,
Trusting in God that he has guided your thought pattern ,
Being a strong Husband and father in times of unprecedented danger around us
The World around us is everchanging and one thing remains in that sea of idiomatic expressions is that .
A bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in a bush .
Thank you for always being there.
