Shifting the Sun By Dianna DerHovanessiah When your father dies, say the Irish, you lose your umbrella against bad weather. May his sun be your light, say the Armenians When your father dies, say the Welsh, you sink a foot deeper into the earth. May you inherit his light, say the Armenians. When your father dies, say the Canadians, you run out of excuses. May you inherit his sun, say the Armenians. When your father dies, say the French, you become your own father. May you stand up in his light, say the Armenians. When you father dies, say the Indians, he comes back as the thunder. May you inherit his light, say the Armenians. When your father dies, say the Russians, he takes your childhood with him. May you inherit his light, say the Armenians. When your father dies, say the English, you join his club you vowed you wouldn't. May you inherit his sun, say the Armenians. When your father dies, say the Armenians, your sun shifts forever. And you walk in his light. Dear Jennifer, Dave, Anna, Mathew and Family; May his light remain in you forever. Love always, Wilda and Lucas
