Leelie Neyamenee
Papa who loved to be with us
And always asked, "What are you thinking?"
Who was quick and strong
Whose skin is brown and lips red
Who loved to hear others' secrets
Who told me he would come to America to live with us
Whose eyes were a cat's
Who loved to play soccer
Rests now
Died on a Saturday
Who would want to see me now
and know what I'll be when I grow up--
Joseph Borker Neyamene, who?
