Sara Chansarkar Poet Rondeau

Best Rondeau

Dad I am here all through the day
Standing here just inches away
You want family by your side
Saying kids, the source of your pride
Somewhere outside they roll and play

Please go run out,show them the way
Before sun’s out and sky turns gray
I smile but tears are hard to hide
Dad I am here

As I pour medicine you say—
Hey nurse, bring me my girl today
She loves junk food, salty and fried
Your eyes become mushy and wide
Please God, show me to him, I pray
Dad I am here

Andrea Dietrich July 13, 2016 at 5:17 PM this is so sad. And very moving. Maybe I am wrong but doesn't rondeau begin with the repeated phrase? Where you wrote "you call for us kids" I believe you need to put "Dad I am here" in that spot! Sara Chansarkar July 13, 2016 at 7:13 PM Thanks a ton Andrea for pointing that out, I corrected it!
