ALL FOR THE FAMILY

Folder: 
2001 Poetry

The days you spent

In far away places

The months you were drained

In the Sahara Desert

The years you toiled

In strange places

In increasing your savings

For your Family’s superior being

All nights when you think

Nothing but your dreams

To giving your loved ones

The best kind of living



Confined in solitude

In search for altitude

Gathering fortitude

To containing some attitude

Lucky are they

Who have someone like you

For you put family first

Before anything else

And regards loved ones’ future

As a sole purpose of your existence

Thank you Mr. Bevans for appreciating this one as it really from the bottom of my heart. This is an ode to all those Overseas Workers who brave estrange lands all for the sake and welfare of his/her family. My salut to them.

This reminds me of a beautiful poem
my daughter once wrote to me...
This poem is the greatest gift
or complement a father can recieve.
