This is a poem for my mother's brother .. AKA. Roquemama. A small gift on his bday which is on the 7th Jan. I take this opportunity to thank you for whatever you have done for me till today and I know you will always continue to...!

From the very first day
When I was on the way
From that very moment
When you took the token.

You held me close
And never let me fall
Since then for all
You always took the call.

My every birthday
Was as special as you are today
Without you I felt
Like it was just another day.

We laughed and joked
But also chocked
My daddy you are for sure
whose heart is very pure

I know you have always been there
And I thank you for showing that extra care
I have always troubled you with my non sense
Still you have always welcomed me without any fence

The mermaids, the footballs
the swords and the steel walls,
the lovely blue cake,
And the creative things that you make

Your brain that triggers
Is a sign with figures
You give us the shivers
That no body delivers

I run out of words as I write this poem today
I hope I have delivered most of what I have to say
My love for you will never shrink
you are the best I can say it without a blink

Today is your birthday..!
And I would Like to say
There is none like you who would stay
Roquemama I'll love you always!
