For My Daughter

 

 

 

.

When I die choose a star
and name it after me
that you may know
I have not abandoned
or forgotten you.
You were such a star to me,
following you through birth
and childhood, my hand
in your hand. 

When I die
choose a star and name it
after me so that I may shine
down on you, until you join
me in darkness and silence
together.
 

—David Ignatow

Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
