| This Uncle had given me so much by: janleemark This Uncle had given me so much Love Chasing and covering my fears in the absence of my Dad Guiding my heart to realize that life is not unfair Bringing his little fellow a smile not a pout Ringing in my vision not to sip in my wry mouth This Uncle had given me so much Hope Pushed me up to cover the uncover dope Thread my hands to revive the unfading song in my heart Tap my back and pop my desire so not to be hurt This Uncle had given me so much Patience He taught this trial and error waiting game Life can wait your fame will be brought by a mame Believe in what you want to do, no one is a lame This Uncle had given me so much Confidence Bathing my achievements in a perfect shadow Pulling the grass gaping the path in full window Defending the dawn when the night tried to lock my shelf This Uncle had given me Smile Leaving my thoughts not in fancy mood Floating in midair subject to his soft spoken whisper Liking him much a beloved father to pamper This Uncle had given me so much Inspiration That I fell in love and being loved in return Taught me the unity of matrimony It was a perfect couple for prosperity This Uncle had given me Unity Where peace becomes the foundation And freedom joined in union sanctity His love is a chancel like a sanctuary This uncle had slept for awhile Soon he’ll be back to pour miracles Not in my dreams nor in reality Here in my heart flowing with the clergy and his choir © copyright 2008 janleemark This poem is heartily dedicated to my beloved uncle Gene Fabic who just passed away yesterday. Your memory will live on for you have taught me how to be like you.You are such an inspiration to me and to many as well. Rest in peace Uncle Gene. |
