Father

Always I see you in the morning sun

Then too I glimpse you when the day is done

Autumn leaves are a fiery pyre

You are the dawn splendour, you won’t die here

 

You are the wind whispering through the trees

You are the nesting sparrows in the eaves

You are the vibrant garden of flowers

You are the grace in my needy hours

 

When the spring buds hope on a given day

You are the fragrant promise  that  will stay

You the invisible waltz dancing free

You are all I am and will ever be

Sounds like a wonderful human being. I'd like to meet him.

This is such a loving tribute and yet so sad that it seems to lament that you are only as great as greatness...I feel that may be untrue. Thank you for the depth of this write and making me ponder that limits are self imposed. I miss mine passed but I know now what was meant by you are "my" daughter and there for must be more not less...

I think that it's wonderful how you compare your Father with beautiful elements within Nature. You and him must have spent much time exploring Nature together. There're some great flowing lines here.
