A Son Of His
by Pat Paulk
He grew old before I was ready
though it happened fairly late in life.
His vision sees only shadows now
and his memories are without date.
Stories that I used to relish hearing
get lost from start to finish.
His breath is no longer free

Legs that walked years of wooded land
only bend to fit the chair he rides.
But I’m proud to be a son of his
and will be ‘til the day I die
