on a chair father sits <br />and daughter sits on his lap <br />mother is away <br />and father whistles a song <br /> <br />it was a long time <br />and mother dies earlier <br />than father <br /> <br />the daughter sets on a sail <br />far away <br />no one knows where <br />but everyone remembers <br /> <br />the talk becomes the official story <br />of the town <br />pretending to be happy just like any other <br />town in our history <br /> <br />the father dies and daughter <br />comes back <br />bringing the flowers <br />she lights a candle <br />she sheds no tears<br /><br />Suki Nakamura<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/father-and-daughter-4/
