    A Father's Dilemma

    What shall I say when you grow up?

    That I left you 'cause it was needed;

    That I sacrificed for your good;

    That I sent you the softest shoes,

    When you took your first steps;

    That I sent you the funkiest stationery,

    When you joined that famed school;

    That I called you to query,

    Of the friends you looked up to;

    Or that you'd never know it all.

     

    How can I convince you I'm no deserter?

    That more than aught I love you;

    That my absence too proves I care;

    Or that I'd be different given a chance.

    I know none of that son.

    I know only that I love you always.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
