………… You Are A Poem

how can a million words

a million lyrics 

a million melodies 

ever compete 

with 

the rhythms

of how your life still affects me

sometimes we meet 

 in rainbows where

the cadence 

of your steps

etched 

memories into 

my heart

for always,

for keeps,

Dad, your name 

is poetry to

me…
