December 27 For Daddy

Can a lie ever be true,
                if the heart of the liar seems pure?
rain falls… drips…
                grey clouds hover and cover the skies-
                projecting some darkness over my home.
Yet your heart, your cleanliness,
sheds some light in my soul.
                Even an ugly truth contains beauty,
                   You taught me that… Thank you.
