It’s said the apple
falls not - far from the, tree
I can’t know, you chose
to run - rather than, to know me
Each movie is known - its
name - upon the marquee
For me more like a ship -
set adrift - upon the, high sea
I’ve never walked a mile
with the need, to wear - your boots
Have your reasons held
up – that you chose to deny me my roots?
Not enough to plant the
seed – must nurture the shoots
You were not there to
taste the flavour of the fruits
I was denied the benefit
– to, walk beside
Guided through rites of
passage - with love and pride
From boy to man – where
were you - to provide
The examples of virtue –
that I might take them – all in stride
Must from my heart cast
the burden - can carry it no more
Restore the temple, I’m
coming home - clean it room, closet, & drawer
Denounce the victim – no
longer serves - show him the door
That my power &
divine path – the Creator can now – restore
I may never know you – still
I strip my hand - of your, glove
The road I’ve chosen though
less travelled requires - I rise above
Though throughout my
life - I’ve imagined from the highest cliff - you I’d shove
The time has come for me
to let go - offer you forgiveness & love.
The cord with which I
bound us – I offer to Great Spirits - knife
I now own all that I
have created – including pain & strife
I now align myself with
a universe – possibilities rife
Farewell my father – I
love you & I thank you for my life
