Having six children
isn't easy responsibility
to bear as head of the family
it takes extra effort to make it.
I am not a perfect father
neither is my wife as mother
for we were very young then
we got married; she 18, me 23.
Working hard as medicaltechnologist
i go on night shift every night to be vacant
the next day to work as part time sales agent
all these I have to do to be able to support them.
Poetry is my only consolation
where I can release all the stress
by way of inscribing my sentiments
pooled inside me I need to ease out.
My family is my primary joy
that gives me innate inspiration
and the reason I must do my part
as father to my children and a husband.
