To Kganya

You are about
to make my life great
create a reality
i could never imagine
one i could not
wrap my thoughts
around a pen with

you are a about
to change me
and whEn you take
that First breath
i will be there
to share you birth
and my rebirth
as your Dad
i
love
you

Les-T da poet is a Dad

To Kganya(My Light)

i dont think i will be able to sleep tonight. The anxiety of seeing my baby for the first time is killing. i will be able to see those little feet that used to kick me from their mother's womb. i will be able to hold those little hands that jabbed at me from within...the realization is just tooooo overwhelming. The whole nine months you kinda know you going to be a dad, but right its certain. its starting to kicking in. Have to be at the hospital at 8.00am. And YES I am not chickening out ...I will be in the Operating Room when they take me baby out. I got balls of Steel.Call me Super Man from now on!! oh ya...Super Dad... Thats what i am going to be from tomorrow...A DAD...Being a DAD is a daunting task but i have had years of training. From the annoying Aunt's kids you have to look after when everyone goes to a funeral. Or those irritating little brats that you see and think "my kid will never be like that". And many adults that you either work with or come into contact with on a daily basis, that you think should still be in diapers! I would like to thank the above individuals for preparing for this moment. Now i know what my kid must not grow up and be like...Thank you.

To Kganya

i
love
you

you have given me
one more reason to live
you have shown me
i have much more to give
not just in brush strokes
or torn paper
you have given me
"me" back
with your life
you have given me life
Light
Love
Clarity

i
love
you

now i wait
to touch you
hold you
kiss you
now i wait
to see you
and thank you

i
love
you

Unintended

This is not
How I thought it would be
With you over there
And me right here
With Hands
That seldom touch
Hearts that always pine
Minds that search for time
Time to steal a kiss
Or a moment of bliss
 This is not
How I thought it would be
The sounds of our hearts
Beating around the corner
From each other
An unintended distance
 From one another
