Whatever took him away from us
be it Gods or the Universe
i pray you, give him back
My mother told me how they used to dance
to old records, drinking coffee
from stained cups
she told me of the light that he brought
into a room and into her life
and the light that faded
when he was ripped from us
She told me how he loved us,
me, my twin and even a daughter not his
she told me that he loved us
and i never got the chance
to let him know i loved him also
so i pray you, Gods, and the Universe
please bring us back my father
bring us back a loving husband
and a kind and adored friend
bring him *home.
