THE YEAR I LOST MY FATHER 19/03/2025
<p>The Year I Lost My Father</p><p>The year I wanted to write my JAMB,</p><p>Life suddenly became too hard.</p><p>While others prayed for higher scores,</p><p>I was learning what heartbreak was for.</p><p>I lost my father before my dreams,</p><p>And nothing stayed the way it seemed.</p><p>The house got quieter day by day,</p><p>Like joy itself had walked away.</p><p>I still remember trying to read,</p><p>For a future I still hoped to reach.</p><p>But every page became so blurred,</p><p>Because pain was louder than every word.</p><p>People said, “Be strong, you’ll survive,”</p><p>Not knowing I was barely alive.</p><p>Because how do you study for exams,</p><p>When grief keeps shaking both your hands?</p><p>How do you focus on school and grades,</p><p>When the man you love lies in a grave?</p><p>How do you answer simple questions,</p><p>When your whole world changed in seconds?</p><p>I wanted him there on my result day,</p><p>Wanted to hear him proudly say,</p><p>“My daughter did it, come here let me see,”</p><p>But life stole that moment away from me.</p><p>Sometimes I still sit and wonder why,</p><p>Why good fathers suddenly die.</p><p>Why daughters who still need their dad</p><p>Are left with memories that only make them sad.</p><p>I miss the little things the most,</p><p>The presence that once filled our home.</p><p>The feeling that no matter what,</p><p>My father’s love was enough.</p><p>Now I carry pain inside my chest,</p><p>A wound that never fully rests.</p><p>And though I smile and still move on,</p><p>There are days I feel completely gone.</p><p>Because losing a father changes you,</p><p>It makes your inner child grow too soon.</p><p>It teaches strength you never asked for,</p><p>And leaves your heart permanently sore.</p><p>Still, Daddy, if heaven hears somehow,</p><p>I hope you’re really proud right now.</p><p>I’m still trying despite the pain,</p><p>Still standing after all the rain.</p><p>And even though you’re far away,</p><p>I carry your name every day.</p><p>In every dream I fight to keep,</p><p>In every night I silently weep.</p><p>I just wish you stayed a little more,</p><p>Long enough to watch me soar.</p><p>Long enough to </p><p>see your girl become</p><p>Everything she said she would.</p>
