A Poet To His Father

Author : .aLfie .vera .mella

I tried so hard to understand

Why did it have to be us?



Your gift that year was a broken home

Gone in our lives then you were suddenly



I remember the tales you used to tell

There in my crib I would listen so well



An ode of forgiveness now gently plays

From me and them and her to you



Out of sadness and gloom into brightness and heaven

For so many years, for your return I'd yearned



Wounds, healed; scars, gone; a fresh new start

An unbroken chord on the guitar is set to be strummed

A brighter chapter in our lives has long begun

Pains and tears are now once upon...





Written sometime in 1988

While listening to "Evade the Pain" by Budapest

About the Author: aLfie eLf vera mella was born in 1971 in Metro Manila, Philippines. He was a very inquisitive child who had shown fondness for reading and writing at an early age. He graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing, but the literatus in him never left his heart.

eLf is currently living in British Columbia, Canada, serving as a caregiver for his maternal grandfather. He may have left a well-loved work but for a noble reason, and he never ceased from doing what he loves most since childhoodwriting. Virtually always home, he usually spends his solitary nights reading, researching, and writing about various subjects of his interestchiefly, Culture, History, Literature, Mythology, Music, and Sciencewith New Wave music always lingering in the background like a gentle breeze on a quiet sea.
A writer at heart, eLf started inditing his thoughts around the age of six; and he intends to continue documenting his feelings and ideas until his twilight./http://www.elf-ideas.blogspot.com" title="http://www.elf-ideas.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://www.elf-ideas.blogspot.com
