My Father's world

 


I must remind myself

my Father's world is kinder
than the one that I grew up in  -
my failures, glaring though they are
do not require an unrelenting penance

I need only turn -
my honest self awaits,
humble and attentive and responsive,
wholly furnished and appointed
to reflect.
