Promise to a Father


One day I’ll be famous,
One day I’ll be big,
People will know my name,
And no-one will ask “who dis”.
~~~
Just watch this space dad,
From your seat up there,
With the greats from before,
Knowing what’s in store.
~~~
Just know this promise,
My time is coming,
Of that I’m sure,
I can feel it is true.
~~~
With you cheering,
From a distance,
Nothing can,
hold me back.
