A Father Without His Son Poem by kanav justa

A Father Without His Son

Rating: 4.8


whole his life in days of gloom
he smiled and got things right
but a picture hanging on the wall
is too much of a plight

the echoes of his sweetest voice
he hears in dreams at night
all his dreams he now recalls
to fill heart with false delight

and the sun has set for the final time
his son would never rise
a picture hanging on the wall
is engraved in his gloomy eyes

the memories of his only son
he holds them real tight
in the corner of a lonesome room
a father weeps tonight
