Laps Of Life : Narrative Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

My father carried me when I was small and meek .

He held me in his arms where I could hear him speak .

I know what he said, though I could not understand ,

What life was all about and what for me was planned .

 

My father walked with me when I was old enough ,

To mountain streams and roads that were rocky and rough .

He brought nature close to me in a special way ,

harmony in the world is where I want to stay .

 

My father used to run with me, when he was fit .

Both of us picked up the pace ,slowly bit by bit .

Then he'd say you go on ahead , don't wait for me .

So I ran alone to the end where he would be .
