Papa Please Come Back.

Papa,
When death won the battle
I saw you smiling.
Were you happy to leave us?
Or to meet the creator?

Papa,
You left your big cocoa plantation
To my care,
Mama, you left only me
To cater for.

Each day your grave beckons on me
As I pour my heart on it at dawns.


Papa, can you hear me?
Please listen to my plead.
Creator, please make me smile again,
Grant papa another chance to live
Once again.

I am Emmanuel
