new lines map his face of careful architect;
eyes in tango fix upon his son,
comprehension steps forth in beated firm command,
once steel convictions stumble, wrecked, left the floor;
hail! the same new partner gained!;
mind and heart not rushing, dragging, tempo met,
regret swept from eyes to smile, dawned lips upward crept.
His son never wanted to be good;
competent to skin, brass and wood;
at last his father met his dawn,
blessed, not a moment late,
His son/'/s soul would never rest for less
than to be one of
The Greats.

Nor frown nor smile lips slack air dismissed,
new lines map his face of careful architect;
eyes in tango fix upon his son,
comprehension steps forth in beated firm command,
once steel convictions stumble, wrecked, left the floor;
hail! the same new partner gained!;
mind and heart not rushing, dragging, tempo met,
regret swept from eyes to smile, dawned lips upward crept.
His son never wanted to be good;
competent to skin, brass and wood;
at last his father met his dawn,
blessed, not a moment late,
His son/'/s soul would never rest for less
than to be one of
The Greats.
