Your father, does he actually know what it means- to fall and get up again?
Or does he only know stories like these from his social media channels?
Does he know that compassion is not “liking”, but after all is always made up of deeds.
And does your father even know what this is– courage?
Does he know that in times of need one must take on danger? Can he even still imagine that?
Your father, what powers of resistance does he still possess? What discipline? What will?
Your father, is he actually a hero to you?
And what do you think, children, will the future hold?
What will happen to you when the white storm comes?
