That Day
-David Kherdian
1 Just
once
2 my
father stopped on the way
3 into
the house from work
4 and
joined in the softball game
5 we
were having in the street,
6 and
attempted to play in our
7 game
that his country had never
8 known.
9 Just
once
10 and the
day stands out forever
11 in my
memory
12 as a
father’s living gesture
13 to his
son,
14 that in
playing even the fool
15 or the
clown, he would reveal
16 that
the lines of their lives
17 were
sewn from a tougher fabric
18 than
the son he had previously known.
