Inspired Olawalium, II. I love it when I get inspired to scribble down my thoughts. It can be something I picked up off my head or about something I am witnessing which caused a stir deep inside me. Here, I shared three rhythmic and powerful poems full of emotions. I would love to know which one you love the most... Enjoy...

**Tell Papa...** *Have I told you lately that I missed you, papa?* *Just some hours back I sent a letter to mama* *This is yours, don't feel bad, there is no need to drama* *It doesn't mean you are less important but you know our history* *Everyone knows my history with you, they can tell the story* *If I start writing them in sheets they would fill the lorry* *You and I were 5 and 6 and for that, I am not sorry* *You were the best father and it has nothing to do with the money* *Someone help me tell Papa that I missed the sound of his car horn* *I wish I can have more time with him; go back to when I was born* *I wish I can wake up one day and find you across the room in the morn'* *I knew how proud you were of me that I am your son* *Our stories would always be told and its weight in gold would worth more than a ton* *I miss you and I wish everyone can reiterate that to you for me* *Tell Papa that I still look like him and it's uncanny* *A father that dedicated his life to us and he's so far from tyranny* *I still love buying your favourite perfume even though they have reduced the quality* *I don't even want to get started about Nigeria for the sake of my sanity* *Your passing taught me what you've always stressed that life itself is vanity* *You always speak of love even in the face of betrayal, you hold no enmity* *I wish you can look down right now so I can catch a glimpse of your smile...* *I am a product of who you were on earth* *You showed me the way of the Lord, delight is in my heart*
