    WHO AM I... Born in the usa, one of two children whose father was an accomplished musician and producer. I grew up around music and could play the piano as a young teenager. My father recognised my singing talent and encouraged me to concentrate on singing. He sent a demo tape to the group I would eventually join. Liking what they heard they sent me a song to record for another demo (which would later be a #1 hit for us). Growing up, I was always a bit of a rebel which was evident recently when I made an outspoken political comment that caused a bit of a furore. Becoming an accomplished singer/songwriter and multi talented musician with this group, who have recorded numerous #1 singles and albums with sales in the millions....I AM?

    Can anyone identify a poem about a young man caring for his father, as his father is old and weakened by illness?

I've been trying to find it for years now with no success.
