On a sad day, I missed the old man—
And I confess, I still miss him to this day.
I’d hold tight to the ball, dreaming that one day,
As I grew into a young man, I’d become a soccer star.
One day I took a bad kick and hurt my toe;
With the old man gone to chase away the fear,
That dream was just another one left behind.
And so I grew up, making my own way,
Learning from the streets, from school, and from soccer. ⚽️
One day, I became the best player on my team—
In every game, every scuffle, every match—
Until the day I had to give up school and soccer to shoulder the burden of it all.🙋🏽♂️
And just like that, before I knew it, I was already an adult.
🙂↔️I never had a father figure in my life!
However, I had my mother, and from her, I learned how to be both a father and a mother! 😁🤍🙌🏾
