A poem for my father

Sunday mornings in Brooklyn,
we walked, side by side.
The sky was gold and azure blue
Softly blended like chalk pastels,
the sunrise’s afterglow.
Each quiet brownstone house
brightened by auburn rays.
Beautiful, like a work of art.
Like a picture we made once,
encased in a thick, glass frame.
It feels like another lifetime when,
the sun poured down on us like
a waterfall of happiness and hope.
I can almost taste the sweet lemonade,
and hear the stories you once told me
of your childhood.
