For My Father


A prayer a blessing a time to console
A life before us to admire and behold
A vigil of love amid nurturing care
We gather this moment to bond and to share
All that we've garnered and brought to the now
It lifts us and helps in the solace somehow
Let's hold fast to family and tell every friend
The joy of fine living lasts well past its end


Henry Edward Brown 1934-2006
