Advent Calendar – Day 7
“Founding Fathers”
Immemorial foundations,
Adjacent to other lives,
Reaching backward and ever forward,
Cheating death, one at a time.
Somewhere on a continuum,
Adjacent to other lives,
I learned I had a father.
Of a father, for a time.
Somewhere on my timeline,
Adjacent to other lives,
I learned to be a father.
As a father, borrowed time
Some far off distant future,
Adjacent to other lives,
My sons, once of a father.
Will perpetuate more life.
