in our family
vanished
way too early
and
another little guy
appeared
just a few years later
on the very same day
to join our family

and
i miss you
to the other
and
i
will always
love
both of you

but
how many can i be?
and
there is something
that i really, really
need to be the most
i need to be a dad
i have to be a dad for my daddy
because
he doesn’t have one
anymore
his daddy
my poppy
died
and
i think i’ll be
his daddy
he needs a daddy
the great man is he who does not lose his child’s-heart. ~mencius
