My Dad's Spectacles

Thick frame, thin glasses, 
an old spectacles, 
a keep sake, 
a rarest inheritance
from my dearest dad.

Crises, tensions, frustrations…
Struggles, triumphs, delights…
Life had left its imprints
on my dad’s spectacles.

It betrayed him never; 
guided him always. 
It’s a mate of his eyes; 
nothing could part them
except an attack on heart.

Once he saw me, 
now I see him-
all through the same spectacles, 
black and white.

You touched my heart, Febiyas. When my father died last year, I moved into his home and keep many keepsakes of his around. They make me feel like he is nearby and I suspect wearing your father's glasses bring you the same peace. Bless you for sharing this. Love, Carolyn
