I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.
Who am I?

I don't see the white father bit
Smoke is white........usually, suet is black.
Soot is black.
Suet is white(ish).
I used it (suet, not soot) in my Figgye Pudding.

Then, it should be "What am I?"
FY, I didn't write the post.......just simply answered it. lol
White-hot flame, black smoke. Makes sense.
Is it the vapor from an onion.
That's white and makes people cry
Kedge, how in the world is the vapor of an onion black? It's invisible, not black.
That is a very good point

I'm going to retract my suggestion, and stop drinking

Right you are ... and I would have been well-advised to direct that comment at the writer. Please accept my apology; no offense was intended, I assure you.
