This is an excerpt from How to Build a House by Kyle Liang

HOUSE IN THE SKY

          

Father do not worry
for I will burn a house
for you to have in the sky
before you pass

In it will be
the finest chairs
and the firmest beds
where you can rest your head

Father do not worry
for I will care for mom
She will never leave my sight
but when she must

I will place her ashes
next to yours
so she can meet you
in the house that I have burned

Father do not worry
I will burn as much money
as you need for no father of mine
will live like he is dead

because I will not forget
that you still live
in the house I burned
for you in the sky
