Poetic Expressions About Fathers
The poet Farouk Shousha encapsulates the essence of fatherhood in his poem “Message to My Father”:
It surprises me what I have discovered: You have settled in my soul!
In my voice lingers a trace of your old voice,
In my features lies remnants of your sorrow reflected in your expression.
In the fading tone of my voice—when it dims—I catch glimpses of your fragility.
And you.
Sometimes a musician,
Sometimes an encourager
And content, you embrace me in your warm shelter,
Or disappointed, and offended,
Yet in both states, you never turn me away…
And by God’s guidance, you find that you are indeed just!
It surprises me that you remain present with me,
Even as I stand still in silence, gazing away.
I see you in me,
And I turn searching for you within me.
You surround me, and I lean on you,
You hold me when I falter,
Guiding me back to my path
Defying the despair of this dark night.
Now, as we intertwine,
I have become one
And at once, two.
I returned to being one,
Separated from you, yet connected.
I lost count of how many noble sorrows I bore,
Adding them to my loneliness.
From your eternal wisdom transcending time… how much I’ve absorbed!
My understanding has deepened,
And my orphaned heart’s sorrows have multiplied,
Despite your fatherhood.
And you, my wise advisor.
Did not shield me from your woes!
My father, I see you in your cherished place, offering calmness,
Having fulfilled your life’s desires.
Your age flows into the serenity and satisfaction of purity.
The arc of the circle becomes increasingly whole.
Here I am, seeking refuge in you,
I am the warrior you knew, captivated by the struggle,
And your son…
When fathers boast of their sons as true men,
I return to you broken,
Complaining of the mirage of my journey,
And my alienation,
And my solitude,
Finding solace in your enduring fatherhood.
There remains space within your expansive heart,
And in the clarity of light emanating from your insight,
There is solace for my suffering and despair.
So extend your hand, which the road has worn,
For its arrows have not pierced you… yet it comes bleeding.
You, the life-giving beacon on your brow,
A suppressed cry breaks forth whenever I falter:
This is your old son,
Your new son…
Seeking in you his time
And distant dream.
So open to him your treasure chest!
