Who Is My Father?
Leah Russell

Wake up, look in the mirror,
Crazy curly hair everywhere,
I think of my father,
Who gave me this gift,
Along with so much more.
Turn on the shower.

Rinse hair in the shower.
Straight hair, not like in the mirror.
Wash away the dirt and more.
Memories of my father everywhere,
No longer a gift.
If only I could wash away my father.

I was ungrateful for my father.
I never cleaned his shower
Or said “thank you” for a birthday gift.
Why didn’t I take a long look in the mirror?
“Big spoiled brat” written everywhere.
The unforgettable dirt and more.

Dirt forever more.
I’ll never forget my father
Or how I treated him everywhere.
He had a great soothing shower,
A nice big mirror,
But his love was the greatest gift.

His love is still the greatest gift
Than all the money and more.
Now, I look in the mirror,
And smile when I think of my father,
And frown when my hair goes straight in the shower.
I love my crazy curly hair everywhere.

My father everywhere,
An amazing gift,
His love like a shower,
Full of surprises and more,
I love my father
When I look in the mirror.

Everywhere, reminded of him and more.
My father stands as my best childhood gift.
Smile in the mirror, and frown in the shower.
