Wilderness of Manitoba (The)
in the family
Mother can I ask why my father's breath haunts him,Follows like a ghost every word he saysWhy his weary face, with lines cut by a knifeTells me I live with a man tired of his lifeAll the times we laughedAll the times we criedI will remember themAnd always cherish themYour grandfather did lay years before his timeI was just a toddler when I first heard his linesYou sat me on your lap, a poet's voice unwindSorrow faded yours within looking out at mineAll the times we laughedAll the times we criedI will remember themAnd always cherish them
