Father I Love You
Father, I love you, though we never talked of love
Appropriately, we did what out of love was composed
Traded looks, talked and sensitive the tide between us flows
Hugs were rare, but you rubbed my head, spoke great things
Encouraging a disposition of confidence in me
Regal all the while, I patterned you, aloof of mutterings
Incontrovertibly, you excelled in that sufficing individuality
Legally saged, you banked emotions in stocks of poetry
Orchestra of the village choir, pen upon the paper, genius aspired
Virtue, and virtue made me walk humbly in the village syill
Emulating that same witty humor, and efface of self
Yielding where the need was great, submitting self to pain
Onerous though the burdens were, your spirit great shed
Utility in every gift of service, in every act of uplifting, I love you still.
