For Boys Like Me Who Have No Father by John Chizoba Vincent

Dear Boys:

“I know how much it hurts and how much it feels to live in this world without a father but in the merciful hand of a single brave woman who stands a mother to break herself, arrange herself and disguised herself so that you can live. Yes! I know how the pains run straight into the vein to torment you daily.

I know how it feels wearing the same shoes with you but I have dusted and dried my tears many years ago. I just have to live and leave the scars that fatherliness has printed in me. We may bark from the ocean of sadness to ocean of sorrow trying to hide ourselves into the album of disgrace and shame. We may leave our glory to be downcasted by the thought of how to make it in life but, have it in mind that the same heat that drives home confusion is the same heat that cooks the food we eat.

I have watched the glory of boys trampled upon by strangers... http://syncityng.com/2018/06/29/for-boys-like-me-who-have-no-father-by-john-chizoba-vincent/
