I AmBecoming My Dad.

I must apologise for not commenting on many poems at the moment but I am very busy sorting out things for my wife\'s funeral which is next week.  Normal Service will be resumed before long.

 

 

 

 

I look in the mirror

And the person I see is changing.

I can hear a new person when I laugh,

Such a distinctive sound

That I have always known.

The mannerisms that I have

I have known them as well.

So not only has my love for music,

And for nature,

Come from this person,

I am changing into him,

I am becoming my Dad.

A man I had always admired.

A gentle man,

And a gentleman.

No longer with us,

This man who went from life

Over twenty years ago,

Is now resurrected in me.

Thank you Dad.

I will join you soon,

And together we can sit and listen

To, and with our heroes of music.
