43. To say the least

“Good-bye, Father,
I shall see You tomorrow.”

    Good-bye, son,
    I shall see you in a minute.

“Why and how, Father?
I am leaving, Father.
I am tired, really tired,
To say the least.”

    I am proud of you,
    I am one with you.
    I share your glory’s light
    Equally and unmistakably,
    To say the least.
