Ba Ba

By: Meena Rose

Ba Ba – my first word for a man
Who celebrated his children;
Showered them with love.

Ba Ba – his bedtime stories of
Youthful escapades taught life lessons
Imbued with appreciation of the present.

Ba Ba – his generosity and hospitality
Set him apart amongst others in our
Frozen Canadian refuge.

Ba Ba – his cynicism and cutting criticism
Would have shocked strangers – we, his get,
Learned to find the camouflaged compliments.

Ba Ba – his desire to please many a tongue’s
Palette knows no compare – it truly does spoil
You raising your standard of living notches above the rest.

Ba Ba – his strength and presence always there;
A rock – I rebelled against at times;
A rock – I sought refuge with at times.

Ba Ba – chiseled and polished, a boy who grew up too young;
I am forever glad the guard has finally crumbled;
Life is now a true joy.
