What do you know? Share it with me.

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


By William Loggins
