A Father's Hope
A Father's Lament

By Nur AbdurRashid


The lone sound
of that bird's song

Takes me back
to that time before
I cared
about
the world.


Who am I
to take
that freedom from concern
away... from my boys?

When are children to become
aware?


Sing,
Lovely bird,
Your song of
Care and concern:

Be true, so true,
Through and through.

Be true, so true,
Through and through.
