Memories In the Sands of Time

Dada knew he was on his way So He had collected, all his bowel's branches In Unity to tell of his life, fortune, fame and fate It Was as if it wasn't going to be so in our eyes But We were very blue he was weak, A Strong agile oak we used to know him to be Very vibrant eyes, sat eyes less on the brown settle. We Stood and watched as the wind Blew And like a pale leaf drops To The sands of time, carried away By The harmattan wind , in apparition In Its mist He vanished away, yet the memories still fresh like green leaves today

So dear are all the memories that resided between the layers of time and cherished, images and feelings, deep into the chambers of the mind and heart.. Most precious, as I feel, those of our parents! Dads, are the lofty stems ever rising with solid deep roots! How heartfelt and beautiful the poetic image you have painted for your precious Dad, Gideon! A delight to read! My deepest regards and blessings.
