"Orphan"
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD
I
Son is the loneliest word I know
Because it can only be properly said by you two
And now you are gone
I am caught here in this space
Wondering around
And lost in this gaze
II
Wanting to hear it
It echoing still
In the beating heart that you have created
With the love that have shared
I am an instrument of that love
of the essence that you were
III
Son , I take the word
My weapon and my shield
My staff and torch
It is who I am.
Lost though I maybe.
