What were the words
last spoke from the lips
of my father the day that he died?
Did he cry out for help?
Or did a wave of relief
wash over the place where he lied?
What were the feelings
last felt by the man
who gave to me half of my soul?
Did love fill his heart?
Or did fear, loss, and sadness
overcome him and take their toll?
Did my face find his memory
for a fleeting last kiss
on his cheek as his eyes closed for good?
Did he wish he’d done more?
Or wish he knew less?
Or was his fate simply understood?
