    I wrote this at age 18 when my father suddenly died of a heart attack. 

    Ode to my Father

     When a man's existence ceases
      And his life beyond begins
    Those left behind, must carry on
      And prove their faith in him.

    God giveth and he taketh
      His reasons hard to see
    But he leaves us with his blessings
      On the wings of memory....

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
