Echos From Past Poem by Ewen A Morrison

How do you see me now?
I Used to be 'Patriarch'...
regard me, and just how?
Usually, 'Word' was mark!

Have grown from offspring -
Thoughtful son, in your way...
and now do your own thing;
Considerate, to what I say?

Now you are dad, like me,
son's so good, rarely bad...
your 'apple echoes tree';
who taught you to be Dad?

Lessons learned, but not taught -
which example should we follow?
Wisdom gained, however, caught;
tell today, and show tomorrow?

Your Wisdom's beyond words
you also seem unspeakable...
please Enjoy what 'apple' affords;
inheritance is truly ‘keep-able'!
