Analysis of Father, Now I Am Like You
Father,I am gradually
going to become you.
Now I use only two pairs of dresses,
rare I use new.
Smell of sweat emittes
when I return home,
after long hours of fatigue work
and go to bed early alone.
Father, I use
only one pair of shoes.
I never watch T.V.
except news.
Now I am silent.
Serious in every matter.
I am responsible.
Always keep my family better.
Father, you used to recite repeatedly
when I was child,
"The aspects of every father is dormant
in the heart of his child".
