For My Father
I flew today
with my father
long gone
Yet...
We flew
It was his birthday
The sixteenth,
it is only another day
He taught me so much,
in little ways as such
A fathers' way
DC-8s never die
they always fly
here, there,
in blue sky
The small ways,
are what I am today
Such gentleness
I owe to my mother
My endurance
To my father..
For, I am
A mixture of my parents way
The love of wings,
an inherited thing
Eleven years ago,
another time
Long ago
Such things,
I have come to know
