Ode to My Uncle

An ode to my uncle To He that has touched many hearts To He that has touched the future in generations to come To He that strived for good health in life To He that has power in head To He that brought light into many lives To my best uncle ever with harmless contagious diseases, You might be internally ill, but don’t be mentally sick! To He that considered the value of each day To He that considered the worthy of each day To He that noticed the miracles god performs To He that tried making the most of each moment To my uncle with great thoughts You might be old fashioned, but you are getting there, So get well! To He that is black with a white mind To He that is dark with a bright soul To He that is strong with a weak heart To He that is guilty with an innocent soul To He that is lazy with an energetic mind To He that had apartheid but opened arms To He that is doctor yet not a doctor I’m turning back the advice, “Be careful of what you put in your mind!” To He that is giant yet small in height To He that has power yet powerless To He that defeated minds yet none abused To He that is boss yet don’t boss To He that learns time yet Africanize it To He that sleeps not, but rests To He that aspires then achieves To He that changes with thoughts Your existence is deeply felt! Get well! To He that a faithful politician is To He that a best driver in urgent times is To He that a psychologist in casual times is To He that a weirdo in desperate times is To He that a go-getter in real life is Your i.q. is still needed Keep it up!!
