Father

As the hour glass is turns there is nothing  
to prevent the sand falling to the bottom,  
 
Father, you leave the way you come-  
Like a child who accepts fate  
after it is far too late  
   
and yet you turn every moment into precious eternity,  
cherishing like a fool who believes    
nothing will ever end.  
   
Father!    
And yet you still you are! Sitting in your chair,    
drinking coffee, telling everyone  
"Everything is going to be O.K".
