In memory of my Father in Law: Gordon Shears.
MY PAL GORDON: by Ben Dunk. September 26th. 2002.
The moment came
The spirit passes
No longer home
With happy glasses
The empty air
The tears falling
A vacant chair
No one calling
No super fame
An able life
Living the game
Of grief and strife
The span was long
The human term
Work always done
By duty’s norm
His ready wit
His family tie
A constant rite
Of love gone by
Goodbye my friend
I loved you well
For all our time
You were my pal
