Father, in
your lifetime you were never
able to see
the homeland of your father.
The Virgin
Islands during World War II
was as far
out to sea as you ever reached.
Ah but you
gave me life, and for both of us,
I made it
across the wide ocean several times.
And
grandfather’s land of Greece is a beauti-
ful place
indeed.
In a way, we
all came from these ancient
foundations.
Look, from here you can see
the Acropolis
and Parthenon. What a mag-
nificent
creation. And my, how brightly it
shines against
the enduringly blue Aegean Sky.
