Father Poem by Cigeng Zhang

Father

Rating: 5.0


So far, I've seen your cry
Only once in my life

It was on her funeral day
You sat in a wheelchair

Your hand caressed her face
I supported your body

Your tears rolling down the face
Dropped on the back of my hands

I never felt such cold tears
Like icy water

I held my tears
Looking at your face

Your face, like a statue
A statue crying into pieces

Tears of life! ! Tears of love; and, tears for the dead. Nice piece of work.
