A Night, With My Father
Thou, I did not beg
My wants and my wishes
Yet, my father felt it, as he saw me
While he sat
On his sagging rocking chair
How I childishly made
A wish
Upon a star
On a lonely night, when
No one dared to meet
The sleepless fireflies
I was, alone, I thought, staring
At the twinkling star
I didn’t notice, he was listening
Thru the passing wind, gently
He touched me
Speak unto me, my son
For what your heart desire
Will be granted, the life, the happiness
The wisdom
And, into the light, I’ll bring you
Where darkness, has no power
If, you promise
To serve and to obey me
Daily, I’ll give you anything
In response, I said: if this is your will
So be it
Only please, help me
Lead me, O my Father
