My Father by A Poem by Yehuda Amichai

A Poem in Honor of Fathers – Happy Father’s Day

My Father

Yehuda Amichai

The memory of my father is wrapped up in
white paper, like sandwiches taken for a day at work.

Just as a magician takes towers and rabbits
out of his hat, he drew love from his small body,

and the rivers of his hands
overflowed with good deeds.
