‘Nothing is impossible under the sun’
impressed the father on his son,
‘can go haywire all stability,
everything is in the realm of possibility’.

The son grew up and duly had his chance
To go on a date of youthful romance,
That soon matured to a relation of heart
There was no looking back once he made the start.

But fate so often bares its cruelty
The girl left him for another,
Leaving him a note scribbled on paper
‘everything is in the realm of possibility’.

The son was so shattered by his lover’s deceit
Living seemed not worth anymore,
He was found hanging tied to a bed sheet
Behind his room’s closed door.

A note he left bearing his last words
From a son to his father a cruel levity,
In endorsement of what his father had once said,
It read ‘everything is in the realm of possibility’!
