Good By Papa

Good bye papa my father no more,
your knowledge had nurtured 
                                   you talents
                    had shored;
good bye papa my father no more,
your loins, 
         from which I sprang 
                         your vision quest
   to which I became;
you set my moral compass 
north, south, east, and west;
good bye papa my father no more,
  through my fleeting teens
               to my young manhood
  through all my fallacy you well 
                                      understood;
good bye papa my father no more
