ON FAMILY & FRIENDSHIP - The Wisdom of Father
The Wisdom of Father
As I sit serenading to the sound of rain
thumping against mother’s earth,
I think of the great one who conspired with another to offer me birth.
The one who infused me with the power of mammals,
the insight of birds,
the divinity of nature,
the strategies to influence a greater good.
I sit reflecting on a man who rose from darkness to light -
ghettos to suburbs
jails to houses with fences hued white.
A man who taught us the underlying truth -
of man’s existence and women’s persistence,
of nature’s healing and spirits revealing.
Drums beating, songs chanting, kids laughing
Forgetting that times were hard.
What a mesmerizing phase when meals were grown in backyards
and family trips with sisters were enchanting.
No matter the occasion or the struggle,
I remember, “he” was always a magnificent father.
