Peregrinations

Peregrinations
For Dad

Take flight, O Muse,
take wing on charcoal skies,
take steps, Minstrel,
take music, take your song,
take hearts, Pilgrim
take eyes and make them shine,
take chances, traveller,
take time, make rights from wrongs.
Take note, Pippin:
-when your handwriting gets so bad you can’t read your own lines-
take comfort, boy,
you are your father’s son.
