Dad, Mr.William Kigunda, it's Sixty days of silence, sixty days of pain,
You called me Mercy on that final day,
Before the angels carried you away.
Dad,Who will open the gate for me at dawn? when I travel home??
My protective pillar, now that you are gone.
Mother is fragile, please hold her tight,
Keep her safe in the heavenly light.
Oh Dad, I am trying to learn how to stand,
Without the guidance of your loving hand.
They tell me to move on, to let the sorrow fade,
But the bond of a daughter cannot be delayed.
Aunt Marion weeps for her brother so dear,
Your sisters are broken, wishing you were here.
I miss the location pins, the safety in the dark,
Your gentle wisdom left a permanent mark.
Oh Dad, I am trying to learn how to stand,
Without the guidance of your loving hand.
They tell me to move on, to let the sorrow fade,
But the bond of a daughter cannot be delayed.
Goodbye, my father, until we meet again,
In the quiet of the morning rain.
