Improvise, Adapt, Overcome


Stolid with rare vigor

Honorable with freed absolution

Rising from the chasm

Ground in black ash


Charade in form

Unchained of glower, despair, hate

Ascending into light

Tested by wits and comprehension



You mask the dark days

The shame of doubt

Finding the optimum of life

A sight, remarkable in design


Welded together through emotion

Gathered through dreams

Nurtured through love

Gentleness, kindness, and plenty


Eyes that look to you now

New, beholding the old, intertwined

Remembering what was, is and forever shall be

A family so you call it, a son you name it



Appreciated in past future

He never forgets, never regrets

Only reaps your every motion

So he may become you, and more some


All because he appreciated in past future

A domain you share, beyond the grave and more, forever

A poem dedicated to my father, a great man now and forever shall be to me.
