for my father

You are near me in my earliest memoriesI trail behind you playfullyI was your focus since I was a childThe model you gave me is an ideal!Time passes for you too, my fatherMy admiration multiplies endlesslyIt settles like a law, like a progressionAnd as a variable, it only ever grows!I always wish to beA priori, the example found only in youI try anew to resemble youTo awaken a sense of pride in you!
