I Saw My Father, In Silhouette Poem by Thomas Leathandrum

I Saw My Father, In Silhouette



I saw my father, in silhouette - on the wall.
It's been 50 years, since i'd seen him - that tall.
He said; I came to see you - tonight.
He said; it just seemed - right.,
I said; hello dad, please don't - fall.
I said; it's good to see you - glad you called.

I can only stay for a short while - he said.
You look good my son, sitting on the bed.
With frosted eyes; he stared - for a time.
He said; don't be frightened - I said; I'm fine.

He asked; where's your brother - my son John.
Dad I said; do you not remember, he's gone.
Gone; the word, stuck on his tongue - gone so young.
Dad I said; John went with you - you went together.
Dad I said; I love you and John, love you both - forever.
