Weeks gone by, the fresh aromar of breeze right in my embrace, serenity at it's best. Heart felt conversation with papa, brought nothing other than laughter like that of a child in it's season of love and embrace. Though papa had made it known he was old but strong as his youth days, he would not be needing the constant buzz and calls as days got by. I voluntarily saw it as being the nagging yet lovable dearly beloved old man for a father. There was no doubt I was ever going to hide hearing aids to his constant lectures about how he could look after himself, and the fact Margaret was available enough to keep him company. Perhaps it was just the long blood line of stubborn heads that ran through my veins.
"After all Dem talk say like father like daughter"
"No be lie true true my papa born em replica"
"Fine oooo, set ooo, beauty with brains ehhhhhhhh".
The exaggeration alone made the outburst of laughter louder than I thought it could be consealed, hoping I was not too loud enough for the neighbors to pay hearing to. I mean you never could know who was lorking around.
"The rule was not to be caught unfresh"
"Check am naaa e for no balance".
A beautiful morning indeed it was, fulfilling and enriched. The news about the job got faster, latching its self right into the ears of papa, an outbound of joy, knowing his far gone run away daughter was finally putting to use the piece life had in store. Papa had once said
"someday you would surely be far away from home as it was meant to be",
"The phase of life for you would be bountiful and nothing in store to slow you down".
"Of course I never understood what he meant, regardless of how much I tried, it never added up".
But with this, I was certain, as to curiously come to the conclusion papa was right after all. Was there sure to be a time papa could be wrong, I doubted it.
Eventually perhaps if it did happen, well we might just have to wait. The adage proverb says
"Let the sleeping dog lay". And moreoverly my exact point was to
"keep the sleeping dog layed".
