Vera
Vera
A woman of complexities – unfathomable – has gone
to a place some believe – for others far beyond.
This woman I have known for many years
who has brought to me - many, many tears,
has now left behind the man I call Dad,
leaving him – in her wake – very, very sad.
The thought of this makes me feel very bad,
for this is not how I’d like to see my Dad.
Vera, has been his partner, his companion, his life,
his nemesis, his mother, his boss and his wife.
Vera, tried in her own inimitable way to be accepted
but for most, it was difficult, she was often rejected.
