My fathers haiku
spirits climbed away
beside the Great Speckled Bird
carrying a soul
a father passed on
native spirits slowly rise
with a legacy
the Great Speckled Bird
graced my father with a ride
up to the heavens
holding hands so calm
a father’s journey will end
beside three children
my stomach is tight
longing for one more phone call
my father passed on
tonight I miss you
for this would have been our talk
sorely missed parents
although you have passed
your loving spirit remains
my heart proudly beats
one life has ended
a new life in Baptism
life events in change
I grow weak at times
when my heart is in longing
your smile remembered
you left in person
you left behind a spirit
you left me faithful
we try to tribute
your long life and legacy
an image of joy
my day was in joy
success in every way
I know you looked down
you threw a baseball
awkwardly I threw it back
my dad taught me well
