Thirty and Seven
by Everett A Warren

June 3, 2006

Perhaps it is inevitable
I find now that my father's gone
That I'm more and more the adult
I was supposed to be
Perhaps it is only me
But I find echoes of him
In my decisions
Once they're made
Perhaps it is something
That was always there
That I only notice now
After he's gone
Perhaps since I can no longer see him
I seek him in me
I see where he shaped me
Where he created me
Perhaps it is time
That has helped me to learn
More of myself
More of the world

But I am not him
And it's not his path that I walk
It is my own, guided by my own star
Perhaps it is best that way

Yes, it is best.
I have something for you that I just found in with papers of the late '80s. In it you will read why he agrees with me and what he has thought of you for years.
