Here is my second poem. Dad had a very bad day today which inspired the writing of the poem. The line "See you sonny" dad said to me when I kissed him goodbye before coming to work. The line "Today I'm going to die" is something dad said earlier in the day to mom.
I am thinking of including the poems "Burmese Child" and "My Father" at the bottom of my artists statements for the "Life on the Margins" Exposure festival show.
My Father
See you sonny!
Today I'm going to die
Strong but soft
Large now small
Work then give
All for them
Love and miss
Laugh then cry
See you sonny!
It's time to die
Now he's gone
But lives on
Heart to heart
And in song
