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.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
