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".
