Sonnet Poem: Remembering a Father

A pair of shoes that walked many tests Skipping and hurdling the hardest Shockproof to the condition around Halt to prepare for what tomorrow's abound A distinctive scent of sweat for a living Upbringing of children is not failing Many sails and flights brought them away A love message to sustain each longing day Hiding tears to withstand the test of time Strong grip of every chance is sublime Man of few words but a cherished action Unload your worries, now at peace with God without distraction In my most solitary moments I will live to the image you represent 15 June 2013
