Part of a Constellation

By Niall Twohig

Dear Aislynn,

I’m sitting atop

The May 1970 Peace Memorial,

students by my side,

I hear the fountain flowing

as I write these words.

I wonder:

Will this memorial

still be here

when you are older?

Will you visit it?

Will you see me

in its constellation?

Will you feel my Love

extending to you

across time

across space?

I’m sending Love

to you, dear Aislynn,

wherever and whenever

you are when you read this.

Live Peace,

Daddy
