Luminescence

Proud

It was the day when we were out,

And standing in the crowd,

When winners were announced,

My father asked me to make him proud.

Though I was not that loud,

He knew he has to be around,

As I had to talk and come about,

When he asked me to make him proud.

Now all I can hear are the voices and their ablaut,

And can see people sing and shout,

For that noble man under the shroud,

Who once asked me to make him proud.

He said I’ve already done that and there’s no doubt,

He knew my views were profound,

But He’ll always be the greatest man who made me proud.
