I see, saw, seen my father;

I see, saw, seen my father;

I see my father,

Dapper as he  is;

Severance, as a decedent man can be,

You could never tell from his quiet reconcile.

 

I saw my father,

For a minim of a second

Right arm swinging;

Step, step, step.

He didn’t say a word

Or talk, in the conventional way

But I felted blessed

He came all this way

To dedicate me a very special birthday

 

I’ve seen my father,

That moment got nearer

Each step gets clearer

That moment, gets nearer

My understanding is percipient

His, existence, brought tears

A parabolic reflector

Look, quick, look faster

Look, look  into the mirror

This is a very touching poem - a loving tribute to a loving man. Great work and I loved the ending. I can only hope that I am as good a man as my father - the reflection in the mirror sometimes makes me question. He is definately a tough act to follow. Nice work with this one.

Thank you... Thank you... and thank you... It is sincerely a warm comforting feeling when you make that connection.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
