The first time
Not knowing yet
Also the last I
Would have met
Apprehension so thickens
What would become
Heartbeats now quicken
Soon the meeting begun
Older in years
Of a generation ago
Of all of my fears
Contemplating them so

Past conflicts had stoled
Present mending accrues
Acceptance was all
And everything I prayed
As we talked in awe
Watched my family's eyes laid
Bonding in no time
Though cultures apart
My new father of mine

Teaching me your joys
Bonsai and more
Sharing enjoys
Living is for...
