Conversations: What about D?

Son, there is a world 

Out there

Lets go away

Where no one can separate us


What about D?

Daddy, I came  to fetch my ball

I forgot my ball yesterday


This is your home

You dont need a reason

Conversations: Wear my clothes

Daddy, can I wear your clothes?

You can wear anything
My clothes are yours
My journey is your journey
My story is our story 

Wear my clothes 
These sagging shorts are mine, wear them
These baggy tees are mine, wear them
Wear my clothes

Conversations: Where is mommy?

Dad, it is late
where is mommy?

Dady it is too late now
When is mommy coming back?

She went to Fourways
To prepare her Truth

Conversations: Are you my dad?

Conversations: Good bye, dad

 Good bye, dad
maybe  we will walk again tomorrow
Bu tomorrow  never comes

You have your journey set
Back to your home 
I have my journey set 
Back to my new home

But the dark night is upon us 
hiding the parting tears 
as we part our ways 
never to walk again  

Good bye, dad

Daddy, sharp sharp

Its ok
