For a cherished Uncle

Are you my Father?

Was I conceived in your art?

Did you will me to life
Placing me in the arms of a cherished brother
Leaving me to grow
While you continued on your path

Am I your daughter?

Was I born from the seed of your imagination?

Praying to Allah
Begging him to show you a glimpse
Of another road walked ...... A daughter to call your own

Were your prayers answered?

Did He take a copy of your spirit
Breathing it into my own
Allowing me to grow as a replica.........

The child

born

of your art
