A Memory 


When I close my eyes I can no 
longer see your face. Put your 
photograph on the bookshelf, 
above my chair, you're looking 
down and I've been looking up, 
so many times that your face is 
only a black & white picture in 
a green frame of spring; 
that's no way to remember you.
When we are alone together, I 
often look into the mirror and
see, in the outline of my aged 
face, that I'm truly your son.
And that's how I remember you.
