Fragile frame cradles this gentle one,
A knowing smile releases, then rests,
A long pilgrimage of love and pardon,
Faith and hope facing the strongest test.
I want to be...
Fragile mind savors love and learning,
And love that learned to love in all,
Eyes of grief, scalp grey from yearning,
That all his own answer love's call.
I want to be...
Fragile soul, curbed spine and knees,
In a friendship that none can fathom,
Mind's eye fastened on what no one sees,
Content prayer brushing the garment's hem.
I want to be...
Fragile frame cradles this gentle one,
Beloved Papa to kin and the kin in God,
Though wobbly and weakened, he's only begun,
The life, the story, the epic, the ballad.
I want to be...
More like he.
