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
