Bones of my father


Bones of my father
Now ash in the sea
A promise was made
And kept by me

The journey was made
To the place of his choice
And in my head
I could hear his voice

And out of my mouth
Words never said before
I’ve done what you asked
And I owe you no more

I'm sure your father would be very thankful and proud that you honored his wish and even shared it in a poem.
