Sometimes, my mind wanders to the days when my father was alive. His death two years ago, still haunts my days sometimes.

We have become friends since he died.


Adieu...


Am I your reflection,
My father dear?
Do I echo your lessons,
In things I do, or do I
Cling to sadness or hate?

Am I the one you chose to share
Your wisdom and kindness,
Or just your fear,
Of things unknown and
Prejudiced views of black and white?

Did I succeed where your
Soul suffered, in strength and kindness,
And indecision or rage?
Was the evolution of age
A healing faction, or a lie?


Do I shuffle on the pathway,
Learned from pain,
And caress my sisters
Who grieve for you,
Or smile and say adieu?
