How enough is 24 hours
1,440 minutes
86,400 seconds
24,000 ticks
For the celebration of these Breathing, Living, Walking, Talking sacrifice gifted as HEAD to Humanity.

I mean Men,
whose song is not always on a wheel of steel
Yet
24/7
They wax the best album of will of steel.

No matter the cracks,
the loop holes in notes,
they stay straight or even flat
to fine tune the sound for generations.

They are coats of covering.
Suitably tucked into our lives as Fathers, Brothers, Husbands, Partners.
They bring love and laughter
on gold platter.

Never failing to
PROTECT,
PROVIDE
PASTOR and PROPHETICALLY
Stand as PILLARS as we ride onwards and upwards.

So you see,
A day is not enough to raise our voice to these muscles and mustaches
who live their lives fulfilling their divinely orchestrated roles in our lives
at different phases of our being.

We do not take your strength for granted.
We do not ridicule your weakness either.

So today,
I sound my voice to the universe
asking that you remain blessed,
kept in the mighty palms of Abba whose face will endlessly shine graciously on yours.

For we see you
and we feel you.

So we say
WE LOVE YOU AND WE RESPECT YOU.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY.
