Father, you never leave

When we all departed
Settling down around the world
He is still there
Smiling broadly to the refugees
As if we never leave

When we are all asleep
Dreaming about the next thing to buy
He is still there
Lending his fragile shoulder to any shaking man
As if he never ages

When we are all move on with life
Leaving the land we once lived covered with wild
He is still there
Listening to the hardship, the suffering, the pain
As if he never knows it beforehand
