My father's name means
'one who doesn't mourn'.
But I have seen him
Grieving for his
Grim childhood, broken
Home, fading away of
His own father after
Prolonged sickness, his
widowed mother of
Twenty years and his
Four year old self.
Maybe sometimes your
Name isn't something
You are, but something
You should be.
