Like Father Like Me
My dad’s popularity made it easier to grow to success. Ever where I went they embrace the child of this known celebrity. This man who had done so much to lay a stake on his stardom that no one questioned its legitimacy. I basked in the light of his glow eventhough not always deliberately. Sometimes it’s tuff living up to the standard that has set but most of the time I was glad to walk on the brick that carefully charted my success.

Like Father Like Me Life was easier because I got his name I was recognized through my father’s early fame Kept careful check of the steps I made Every footprints from his path had started to fade Footprints he made many years ago Affixed paths and suppressed where failure used to grow Today because I followed carefully He guided me posthumously Each year he was gone I continued on Right turn, left turn from dust till dawn Life was easier, my dad laid the bricks I just skipped through and enjoyed the kicks Kept on course until soon I had successes too Enjoyed the path as my prosperity grew My life was easier because he carved the way Even though he is gone I’ll celebrate Father’s Day! |
