Four years ago you left
As though you never cared
As though you never loved
As though it weren’t you
It must have been mighty
That tore your caring arm
And curbed your will to be
To see your Great-Grands
Supposing such weren’t true
That sent you visiting offspring
In all the crannies of the world
And sent your manly eyes a –tearful
On the endless expectation of one
Your departure wouldn’t have mattered
What be thy disposition thence
Since journeys you can not make
And hosting you dare not do
The next
It must have been lonely
Oh! Daddy I wish I knew
What has since become
Of your mirthful self
The one I used to love
Probably gone in loneliness
Or so ever broadened
By the heavenly host
Or even renewed
In the new seeds that grow
In the fresh dreams we share
Our dreams!
Four years ago!
As though it were yesterday
As though it were a dream
As though you were a journeying
Sleep on Daddy
Till all are brought together
At the white throne
Of the all mighty Mighty
