It is an important time
When I – the son,
Teaches him – the father:
For he is just as frail as you.
At this time I have no support on any side:
Just weightlessness,
Just air.
How was I to see if we both
Are blind?
Before you were my lifeline
My anchor and support.
The silence,
As I realised your flaws were level with mine,
As I found us both – human.
But soon I gained sight
And I see myself a man,
Just as you are too
Of course you have flaws,
Of course you are human.
And as I see myself,
In that shiny glass
You are there too,
Both of us men,
Side by side,
Just in different skin.
