Yesterday I missed Zamola's birthday
Forgot its three years since I welcomed the man
Life has been terrible looking at the past choices
Availed in sour doses from relations I so trusted
Been running a ratrace whose end never seems
Been preoccupied with practicalities of restoration for a life long gone
Pain never leaves especially when you are taught
That forgiveness is a gift whose promise never holds
I wish him a happy life whose comfort is my goal
Struggles of survival have kept me away from dreaming
Love changes faces whenever needs overwhelm demands
Still my heart bleeds for the track lost in lusts
For things to remain simple a man must forge ahead
No making noises when deadlines serve your days
But the boy will just grow in a world I'll design
Get better chances than the ones I've lost in hope.
Faith in the Almighty, a core pillar in this struggle
It's for Him to show me love that I can give to the young lad
Praise is your honor and that's your heritage
For your name is your gift to last you till eternity.
