I was afraid of my father,
Though he never gave me
Any reason to be afraid.
I respected my father for the
Many sacrifices that he made.
I disobeyed my father and his
Love for me never swayed.
I buried my father who speaks
To me from beyond the grave.
I am my father in oh so many
Truly unconventional ways.
I see my father’s reflection in
The mirror each and every day
As he remains unchanged.
