dad, thinking of you now
you enter this moment
with customary quietness,
in great love you gather me as
you always drew your family to yourself

i recall nature,
love of creation
you, a young man
happy as the sun was shining…
our king of the forest
photo of you tree climbing
pausing in joy
part of all you saw and felt

always there
we “ feared none ill”
you dad, our good shepherd
beautiful bass singing tones
dancing down corridors
of time from your
home in everlasting light…

we loved you,
love heals all
wounds holding
you
me
mum
richard
here in truth
no real seperation…
everlasting life…
