Yesterday, on Father's day
I looked through my writings
For a poem or any note
That could express my 

appreciation and thanks...

And the flowers
(in the picture
my brother sent)
That he had put at your grave
Said it all,
What could have been,
What perhaps was lost...

Surely, all that was
Has purpose,
And I can feel
The presence of your being,
Your understanding
Of our need to
Live and let live,
And how deep within
We admired and adored you,
Though sometimes
Almost unnoticed.

"Let well enough be",
You certainly would have said
In your particular way
With sparkling eyes

And tilted head!
