Shifting the Sun
by Diana Der-Hovanessian
When your father dies, say the Irish,
you lose your umbrella against bad weather.
May his sun be your light, say the Armenians.
When your father dies, say the Welsh,
you sink a foot deeper into the earth.
May you inherit his light, say the Armenians.
When your father dies, say the Canadians,
you run out of excuses. May you inherit
his sun, say the Armenians.
When your father dies, say the French,
you become your own father.
May you stand up in his light, say the Armenians.
When your father dies, say the Indians,
he comes back as the thunder.
May you inherit his light, say the Armenians.
When your father dies, say the Russians,
he takes your childhood with him.
May you inherit his light, say the Armenians.
When your father dies, say the English,
you join his club you vowed you wouldn't.
May you inherit his sun, say the Armenians.
When your father dies, say the Armenians,
your sun shifts forever.
And you walk in his light.
I got to know Bob thru our interest in restoring and preserving antique electric fans. We traded back and forth and Bob let me use his show room as an outlet for my fans. He was my go to guy for polishing the brass works on the older fans. I learned a lot from Bob on the art of polishing and admired his perseverance despite his health issues. He worked with heavy pieces of art that even I had difficulty picking up. I considered Bob a good friend and will truly miss him. Rest easy my friend.
