About the Poem

This poem is for anyone who has lost a parent as a child,
a child as a parent or (like me) both.

My Father, My Son
by Thomas

As a son I lost a father,
As a father, a son -
If the choice was mine I'd rather
Had not lost either one.

I do not know where I come from
Or where I am to go.
True, this fate is less than some
And more than some can know.

My father, my son - you both I miss
But we shall meet someday
In the kingdom where angels kiss
To chase the clouds away.
