I don't know how many times I have cried reading through these comments. 😥 It's encouraging and heartbreaking at the same time.
All same I really thank our Father for speaking to each one of you in a unique way. It's astonishing how so many of us have gone through similar experiences. I pray that y'all will find healing for your hearts.
Thank you so much for the love and support. ❤❤❤
Bless you all!
Hey, relatable, never saw my dad just a picture with the face cut off
I just love this it's inspiring manze I can't wait to hear more from you... Much ❤️
You are talented. God bless you so much for the inspiring story about Dad's. It relates to me what kind of Dad i want to become.
@@davidrobert7653 sorry bout that
Why
the absence of my father in my life taught me to walk away before ppl leave you. I hated him and loved him, asked myself why one would have such strong emotions for someone they dont know. Sometimes I thought he left because i was too ark. This year ive walked in his shoes, ive also wanted to pack my clothes and disappear. Now I understand how he felt and I forgive him. I forgive him. I choose not to run like him, I'll face everything and let God heal me. He is the greatest healer.
yes indeed
Amara BridgetK u just wrote a poem and it makes so much sense coz I can relate
So emotional,encouraging and more so, words to heal a wounded soul.
This is me,,,,,
This is Biiiiiiig and awesome. Emmy, thumbs up
Once every now and then I find myself back here. Thank you Emily. Thank you Jehovah for her
The many dads who are available for their sons and daughters have a place in heaven. Meanwhile the absent fathers should just listen to this piece ♥ ♥
I found myself in tears to how much I relate you to this...
Only that dear dad, you went too early 😪😪
I looked for identity in every man I could see
Looking for security & a father figure in every man
But Christ found me😍
And I have a father in heaven, who is with me every inch of the way
God bless you Wairimu 🌼🌼🌼🌸💚
Took the words out of my mouth. 😢
it's so great.
This just made me cry my lungs out just when I really thought I had healed but listening to this makes me realize am still bitter and hurt deep down growing up without a dad,without having a stable father figire inmy life it was crazy when you could stammer when introducing yourself coz you mixed up on which sir name to use it was sad it was desperation of the uighest order was lost in a world even I could not find myself every night brough a river of tears cried myself to sleep it was painful having to feel insecure looking for love and affection in all the wrong places feeling like you dont belong it was crazy I became numb emotionaly I dont know how to love and how to be love it hurts to the core its painful but realizung that christ has my back its quite comforting 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭thank you Wairimu
May you find peace in Christ praying for you to end up with a loving, caring husband forever ❤
Listening,I see my self always longing to have this fatherly love,until Christ filled that gap
Amen
That sucks
Amen

It is so astonishing how much so many people can relate to this.....message received Em...believe Christ sent me here...cause never heard of you until now
Me too
@tasha truly....
That last part; struggling to relate to God as a father. I totally relate! And for some reason it only became apparent to me this year. Every time someone said that God loves me like a father loves his child i'd just be thinking "So He DOESN'T love me???". Then i'd end up correcting the statement in my head and say "I think for me He loves me like a mother".
It's only just recently that i made peace with Him being a father. A good good father. And i'm loved by Him. And that is enough.
Wow girl that is my story and the sad part is I didn't even grow up with my mother either so it's difficult to see God as a father or a mother. Maybe one day after seeing how my future husband treats and relates to our children I will then begin to see God as a father. Until then may God help me
Somebody send this to my father.....the longest convo I had with him was 4 years ago and it took less than 5 minutes....... I don't know how it feels to be loved by a father.....😖😖😖
And here I always thought I'm the only one
You ain't alone
Jesus loves you so much! Just open up to Him and He will fill that gap!
@@stringsmwanza5849 He has another family...... I was raised by a single mother.....that's my family😊😊😊I think am good that way...but if he happens to talk to me I'll appreciate
@@darwinartsfilms611 I understand. I possibly can't comprehend what its been like for you and what you have gone through. I am happy to know you accept your situation and where you are. It's o.k. that your father has another family and wrong all together coz he ought to be in your life but you know what, to God you ain't an option. You come first. Let Him love you my dear...❤💖💟
I did not get to know him...I was abused by a another man my mum loved this gave me fear and low self esteem...I almost thought it was my fault, I actually thought it was my fault...Have tired on my own no one taught me a thing...finally I got to realise I wasn't the problem...I know I will thrive.... Nice piece Em.
Pato Mail Box I'm so sorry to hear that. And yes, it was not your fault. Please get someone that you can talk to about this. It will be helpful. Thank you for sharing.
You're a very intelligent poet Emily. I like the whole idea, that is well thought and arranged. Voice inflection and intonation are well expressed. This piece of art not only speaks to "the" father, but also to us men. This is a brilliant message
Newton Ndegwa Thank you so much!
Maybe we are all victims!

I really tried not to have a issue with the 1st part of this comment but...I'm pretty sure she doesn't put out her art for you to judge and criticize even if it's positive critic.she is not looking for validation and she does not need it so you don't have to try and validate her .she's trying to get to our hearts. Keep your brain aside.what poets want to know is whether you got the message they were trying to put across or not. And certainly not if their intonation and arrangement was done correctly!! 🤦 And sorry, I might have crucified you on behalf of all such comments.
@@carolinerose_ke KO
i better thank my dad right know he is still with me......this so touching Emily.
Be blessed .....you wanna become anything you wanna be.
Awww... I'm 18 years and in the same situation. I can't just hear I love you girl from my dad. Its always the otherwise. NEGATIVE. I always find refuge learning more and loving Christ knowing he'll never reject and yell at me😭. BUT YET STILL I love my DAD
Owesome" may your talent rise up like the waves namesake *wairimu*
God bless you for this...we were first His before earthly fathers, our identity is in christ..Amazing!!!
This spoken word made my heart leap for a moment . Our beautiful girl is so well composed and the clarity of words eei! I am inspired
Presentation. Check,
Mastery. Check,
U simply the best, its amazing what power words hold
Hallelujah..!! girl you going places. more grace.
GOD bless you EMILY WAIRIMU ... you help hearts and souls heal with your touching and honest piece about what a father's rebuke can mean to a child ... the moment you were able to forgive, you freed yourself from any unhealthy bondage - asante sana for bringing joy and light into this world in the name of in the name of Jesus, in the name of the HEAVENLY FATHER !
Grown up with both my parents...
But this is just an undeniable piece... Beautiful writing
this is the first time im listening from you and I tell you its a very beautiful piece you have written, continue speaking Christ, Emily. right gift in a right use.
excellent poetry art,very beautiful,lovely voice and amazing talent,CONGRATS Emily.You are a strong woman.
This spoken word talks about me... I accepted Christ at 11years of age coz I needed a dad and that preacher said Jesus would be my father and more... He healed me and gave me a new identity which I later introduced to my dad two years before He died!
You just got a new fan in me! Awesome!
This piece is deep Emily. My dad happened to be my greatest cheerleader, he struggled to provide but he was present. I saw Christ in him. He helped me build the concept of God.
Oh the misrepresentation of our Father's love by our early fathers when we get to feel the Father's love. He's a always a good good Father. Nicely done poem!
ooh this take me to my lovely daughter Sophy and my lovely wife Sharon .....
nawapenda sana
Today is fathers day and am here listening to this amazing piece that speaks for me
Go girl go......i just LOVE YOU SO MUCH.....you spoke ME!!!that's exactly what i had gone through....keep up bae
Wow!!way a piece.. God bless you
Just beautiful, flawless and so eloquent.God bless
@Emily Wairimu whenever I listen to this spoken word u really deserve it ❤❤
It made me cry so hard. Because I went through that. It has touch. Jesus is everything. Jesus is my father
Thank you Jesus.
These vacuum made me become a Man with issues. I always walk away whenever someone gets to attached. The fear of being left alone has made me break lots of relationships and friendships because past reminds people they will leave just like your own Father. And these feeling even empty i long for answers to understand
Same case here😥😥
@@arshavineroy 😭😭😭
This breaks my heart. But you know what? You'll be alright. If possible, please talk to someone. It'll make the burden lighter.
This is my story. . I can't even maintain a relationship because am afraid he will leave just like my dad
Ooooh my God, Emily I loooooove you! Thanks for this! My first time watching you! Christ is the way! God's love is unconditional, undeserved and unmerited! I've never met my dad, but I forgive him after watching this, wherever he may be, whatever happened! I forgive him. And now, I don't know what to do with my son anymore because his dad abandoned and maltreated me when I was pregnant,.. Days I went without food, nights without food, and groaning all night.crying to God on my knees, I would go to bed! I almost lost both of us, but God saved us. He was in the ICU fighting for his life. One year now, I believe I'm the best mom. I know when the time comes, he will know the truth.
I've seen my dad once in my entire life, im 23 today. Saw him in 2017. We talked for about 30 mins.
😢. I'd never thought much about him, but this piece left some thougts and emotions
I love this girl..God bless your talent swtie
Great piece kip up bebgyal, so deep indeed
RIP papa
😭😭😭. I was born few months after the death of my father and my mum was sent off from her home, so i don't know what fatherly love is, my uncle and the wife have been there for me but i never felt parental love, i never got a chance to talk to a parent, i was never understood at anytime, i was always reminded of my late father and unloving mum. It's been God all through, i haven't felt Him so much but i know i will. Thank you Emily ❤️
This is a really beautiful and moving piece. Thanks for sharing.
I relate with this so much. I'm still struggling to forgive my dad, but now I'm indifferent towards him. I know I will one day forgive him, perhaps sooner than I expect.
I still love him. His pain blinds him, and he is only a broken and wounded soul. I pray he finds healing and Hope before he dies.
Mesoma Valikpe a time will come when you forgive and let go of all the hurt. Have a conversation with him a candid one.
If I could turn back the time I would do exactly that. When mine passed on we had not talked in 7 years. Had to make peace with it all.
Mesoma Valikpe I hear you. Totally. Wounded people wound others. Letting go is difficult but it sets you free. It shall be well with you.
Interesting... I had never seen this. And now I come across it after I WAS moved by your presentation yesterday at the LOVE AWAKEN ENCOUNTER. It's very deep...very very deep
Good job girl💯💝 You are going places Emily👑
Lovely,this is a story of very many people. Grace grace be unto you
I'd be so selfish if i won't say this is fantastic..i love you girl.. i love what you're doing keep Going
Very profound, I have forgiven and gotten in touch with my father out of circumstances but I cant do long talks with him...Call last for 30seconds on average, awkward moments WHEN HE TRIES SUGGESTGING WE SHOULD MEET. At times I want to tell him we address the elephant in the room like why did he disappear on us and refused to take care of us... I tried listening to his side of the story and he started blame games blaming my mothr and i told him we ain't taking that road...
All I would say is that, can men man up and just be there for there children..keep saying i wish he just played a small role in his absent years, it would have definitely made it easier...Now am taking care of a stranger who most of the time i want to give my piece of mind but I can't. Then there are his brothers who are trying to play sweet now after many years of me not knowing they existed...Many are the times i want to say mean words but I hold myself not to be rude to the elderly but i still throw a spear...Don't pretend to care about me now that am grown,mscheew
.
Wow🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Through forgiveness, i learnt to let go of the pain and anger i had towards the man that was missing in my life. 5-6years I only cried when I talk about my dad. Now am free of the pain, I learnt to focus on my Heavenly Father and be proud of the woman that raised me.
Through Forgiveness I was set free.
Al just have to play this to my ABSENT DAD one of this dayz wen I get home during dinner when he is sitted there
Thinking the same thing
My need for you lead me into Gods arms! The perfect father! I can relate ❤
Wow! So deep and profound! I will be a present father to my daughters!
Wooow this is just deep. Who is cutting onions? Tears
woow Emily you word has touched so many I just hope that our kids will not undergo a life without a father......I LOVE IT EMILY
Youre Good let Nobody tell you anything different. Perfectly Beautiful. Some of us find refugee in poetry Thank you. GOD BLESS YOU.
Blessings Em... Keep shinning His Light in you. When I think of what i need to let go, tears come to my ears. Either way i need to forgive. Thanks for your obedience.
Melody Lisa I hear you. We need to sit and talk. ❤
I keep coming here many times...
I can't count how many hours this piece can convert into for how long I listen to it.
So emotional.
The vibe so awesome
The comments have got me crying. May God give y'all peace and so much grace. I am definitely going to send this piece to my biological dad whom I have never met. He reached out but I can't bring myself to talk to him... I can't wait for the day I will look him in the eye and say "I forgive you DAD"
Hallo keshi.....forgiveness is key and maybe you really don't know why he did what he did ......forgive him and give him the a chance to make it up to you
The first time I watched your "Comforter" on Hope TV in 2018. I have been searching for your work ever since. Today I found the best art in a letter to my dad. You are intelligent Emily. God bless you.
Emily this a complete definition of talent and a gift, good work! You may be the first person who will really listen to him.
Thanks Emily, I've been struggling with "fatherly love and complete family issues" for the past 17 years that blinded me to see God's love until I bumped into your poem.. Be blessed
So great to hear. We bless the Lord 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for blessing my soul with this message...Grateful.
Wow! Honestly, I've never heard a spoken word piece that connected with my life like this one. I never had a good relationship with my father since I was little. In fact, we rarely had conversations and when we did it was when he was scolding me. Of course as a boy I craved for his approval, got excited whenever I performed well in school but he just looked at the report form and said nothing. I was so bitter with a low self esteem for the most part of my teen years and early adulthood. And it seemed the man never cared! I got into too much drinking and hated myself. However, things started to change when I found Jesus in 2009. I learned to love and about forgiveness. I knew I had to find the courage to forgive him. It would take a few years before we could start communicating again.
All the while, I was writing an unfinished spoken word piece. It was an angry poem but no matter how much I tried to complete it, I couldn't until I forgave him. Because God intended for me to preach on Forgiveness. I only performed the piece once but it was the most emotion piece I ever did. And the only one I ever saw members of the audience cry. So when I heard this piece you can imagine I was really moved. We've been trying to rebuild the relationship we never had. This is a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. At least I know I am not the only one who wrote an angry poem about a father.
New subscriber...I love the message...I hope to endeavour more of you words😊
Wow. This is pure excellence. Good work, hope to see more.
This is so Amazing, I could literally feel you through the entire piece....bravo!!
Thanks for this young and beautiful poet. I can Relate with every line. Trust me, this is a master piece. I'd love to know you beyond this platform
Wow,this is a wonderful poem . brilliant presentation of a well produced video .keep up
waow emily your spoken word is really emotional, i even felt as if you were just talking about me....you really are blessed.....waow keep it up girl...
This is beautiful especially the Christ part... God bless you dear
whaaaaaat i feel you, man thats awesome ...i gat His DNA before i gat yours...and the misrepresentation of Him by other earthly dads got the lil ones who yearn for Him waver, daaamn! thats so deep, beautiful and am so blessed right now, i too wish to share ''uji'' with mi dad, i miss him but am greatful to be found by Him who is almighty with unconditional love.
very revelational, insightful and thought-provoking --- excellent kingdom work!
Daaaamn!!! . , this is good a piece. We all have this father wounds, but then Jesus the Healer, does a permanent irreplaceable job. Keep going. Jesus to the World.
Please make a lot of videos ...you are very talented.i am starting spoken word art and i'm in love with yours❤❤
Am inlove with every word.Amazing
I first heard this 3years ago and can't get enough of it.01-05-2022 here again. You are blessed❤
Rip beloved Daddy *SimbaMkali* Well poetic represented lovly nice
Much love gal
Ur just the best poet I've listened to... Keep it up Emily.. Its awesome
Soo encouraging.Growing up without fathers love its something i struggled with despite him being there.Finally i chose to turn to my heavenly father.I found love in Him..and i believe praying for my dad each day will change him and create a fathers bond that will last forever.
I've always loved this letter. My father has been the best father ever. He never abandoned us at any time and am greatful for this but listening to this letter reminds me of how many of my friends have gone thru bitter moments with their on and off fathers so I dedicate this letter to them. But above all I Connect with the christian/ biblical part of this poem. "I was his before I was Yours" is my most powerful line that poem
When you do it with passion.... Everyone will absolutely develop passion towards it.. 😍😍😍😍
I love this🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
what can I say! ifikie wazazi. kwanza iyo part ya God kuwa misrepresented... so damn true. How can we believe that a heavenly father is good, when all we get is bad ones on earth. MASTERPIECE, NIMO!
Bless...
straight from the heart mamzee
This was a beautifully articulated piece that most can relate to.Thank you.
This is so beautiful... I met my father thrice in my life. Once younger, twice a teen, third dead.... And how that pointed me to the Heavenly One the perfect One!!! 😍😍😍😍
I don't know how many times I'll listen to this and feel it's enough. So encouragingly and tear dropping at the same time.
I love this beyond explanation
So deep so good and it's the reality
If it's true she's really knows that pain and trust me it's so hard to cope with ur dad if you have diffrences
Like i'm repeating over and over.... Girl you 're amazing
WAO.that is just owesome girl.keep up.great future ahead.congrats#dadii
Great Emily...I wish thee More inspiration. ..Deeper revelations!
Such an inspiration, u just don't know how much this has gotten the deepest part of my heart. The pain it's too buh this... your have, shown me how
Wow.. great.. My first spoken word to listen and watch.. It's great I should say.
OMG! The fact that I can relate to this makes me so emotional 😭😭
I'm here 3years later this lady is amazing 😍😍
I think this is what my son is going thru, it shall be well with you son,am glad you received Jesus.thanks wairimu
Beautifully done. Rooting for you Emy. Seen you grow and become the person you had always dreamt of. You are true living testimony. From those days at Waa High upto now, you are now strong and have become the very person you aways talked of. I am proud of you. I deeply relate with this. Precise, Educative, Informative, Inspiring and Uplifting.
Continue to soar up Buddy.
Always a blessing... I dont how. Many times have gone back here
Wow.... What a piece... Interestingly alot of ppl can relate to it...
Christ inspired piece... am loving it
I don't know whether the article is your real life experience but everything you have said, matches me.. 100%
me too buddy like 95%
Wow! This was just everything!! I def identify with every last word. God has def showed Himself as my Father, and the standard of what that is, so I no longer hold men to the (low) standard of my earthly father and that of other men who have failed their families, but to the standard of a loving father that God showed Himself to be to me. You're aweseome, thank you for being obedient in doing and presenting this ❤❤❤❤
