Remember(An Acrostic Answer)

Did you think for a moment, anxious prodigal would ever forget? Do you regret, as I, hereditary stubbornness? Inconsequentially, My favorite childhood memory Starched, bleached, hourglasses internal playmate, Two unsung heros, far from home, adventure underway. Indigo Comanche, flecked in dawns final burning breath. Looking upon a pristine canvas, we’ll be the first to etch. Listening to your legacy, innocent wonder reflects in my eyes. Hanging enraptured, on your every word,like- Eternally desperate boot tips brushing a single blade of grass. Running, fear forgotten, Styrofoam steed faithfully in tow. Exhilarated anticipation, Apaches saline mourning.

Gordon this is a fantastic Acrostic and is Dad your dad or does he represent an Comanche ancestor, either way it is a wonderful homage to what we call First Nation in Canada. May we never lose sight of the speech and ways of our ancestors. My friend is First Nation and she tells me wonderful stories around an open pit fire. Love Jane
