Visiting Father's Grave

Visiting Father’s Grave

Visiting my father’s grave
In Yakima
The ancestral land of the Aller clan 

Thinking about my father
And his legacy
And thinking that I am 

My father’s son
There is so much

So much I wanted to share
So much I wanted him to see
My accomplishments

He was taken from me 
Before I had achieved 
my dreams

Before I had become the man
That he and I both knew
I was destined to be
