When a man loses his father
does he begin to realize
that the age of life
is rather bashful in its revelation
of what eventually happens

Even a grown man
can still cry the tears
of a young boy
when his father passes
because its the first bank of snow you remember
sitting on his lap,
legs open,
small frame on his right leg
or the story he told you of how he grew as a child
in his foreign land.

He was your first idol
icon,
celebrity in the pool of look a likes
for he scarified
he bled
went for his dreams
even if his insecurities were there

When a grown man loses his father
he is still that young boy
scraping his knee,
treading the shallow water
alongside his tall, lanky frame

Its your blood
the man that showed you the tree of life
and put his hands on you
soil of the land
for tears will flow
because youth never lasts forever.

This...this is beautiful. It really does touch one's heart, and lets the tears flow.

I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear

the poet is truly blessed to feel such eternal admiration for his first hero. I know this well through my own eternally youthful eyes as I think of my own Dad, now gone.
