I still feel his presence,
But I no longer see him.
I've always seen him happy,
Never got a chance to see him sad.
Last time I saw him,
He was in there.
Laying in there,
No chest movements
Or eye movements.
He was supposed to sit besides
My mom, granny, siblings.
I had reserved his seat already,
So he can see me wearing that,
Graduation gown and hat.
I know he's not my father, but uncle.
He sometimes is like a father to me.
I remember I couldn't breathe,
My eyes were blurry.
I never wanted to say goodbye,
I wanted to say,
" Here's an invitation card to my graduation Ceremony next month"
And I know he was gonna take with a smile,
And he was gonna say " I'm proud of you Ngwanyana-wa-dikotlolo"
Continue resting in eternal peace and
Watching over us.
You are loved and missed.
