For a cherished Uncle

By: Josette Baini
Are you my Father?
Was I conceived in your art?
Did you will me to life
Placing me in the arms of a cherished brother
Leaving me to grow
While you continued on your path
Am I your daughter?
Was I born from the seed of your imagination?
Praying to Allah
Begging him to show you a glimpse Of another road walked ......
A daughter to call your own
Were your prayers answered?
Did He take a copy of your spirit
Breathing it into my own
Allowing me to grow as a replica.........
The
child
born
of
your
art
