My father
I owe it all to you,
the primary example of my life,
a paragon of stoicism and equilibrium,
a perfect diplomat and honourable businessman,
who knew when to keep quiet and to bury secrets
in consummate self-control,
well spiced with a developed sense of humour,
as he always had great fun
and made his life enjoyable from the beginning to the end.
His greatest secret he kept up throughout his life
no one suspecting anything
of what that poker face kept hiding
under an impenetrable surface
of the perfect gentleman’s appearance,
made impeccably of only solid gold.
Poetry by Christian Lanciai
