A Prayer at Fox LakeĀ
Today, I felt
Myself, my father
I and he, the same
In a boat on Fox Lake
Putting a worm on a hook
Looking on my son
As my dad looked at me
Loving my son
As my dad loved me
Worrying for him,
As my dad worried for me.
Proud as he was for me.
I felt him in me,
I was he.
Your father will not die
For you will put a worm on a hook
Look on your son
And I will live in you.
You will be me.
