Grand-Pere

A legacy for a father

waiting uninspired

Painted by the numbers

paternity required

 

Angel guardian my lost friend

orphanage exile

Free me on this darkest night

lead me through denial

 

Empty titled nominee

robbers roost to hide

Salutation waits unborn

seeded but unrhymed

 

Grand-Pere whose master’s voice

birthed my infant scrawl

Fill me once then fill me twice

— to sire and enthrall
