When Shall We Be Born Again?- Poem
------------
He held the bicycle seat,
Ran beside me,
His hand lightly steadying me
As I learned to ride.
At the tank steps,
He lay flat on his stomach,
Held my legs afloat,
And taught me how to swim.
Up the rough-barked tree,
He helped me climb
And settle in its fork,
Then pushed my feet
To send me swinging.
When lessons slipped my mind
And anguish took their place,
He made me recite
Every multiplication table
Until I remembered.
There he goes now—
Lying on a bamboo bier.
When shall we
Be born again,
You and I?
