My aged father
Is keeping himself alive
By awaiting my return
From twenty years abroad.
After tenderly embracing me,
He will then want to show me
My mother's and brother's graves.
I shall have to force myself
To go with him,
For I do not wish to see his prooof
That I have returned too late.
Peter Mavromatis
[Peter's younger brother, my father Con was killed in a car accident outside Mudgee in 1959, aged 35 years. Only seven weeks before, he had saved a young boy from drowning....Each family has its own heroes.
Aίωνία αύτών ή μνήμη.
