The right side of a shelf in my room<\/p>\n
The left side of the cupboard in my brother’s<\/p>\n
My sister’s desk only on Sundays and you were over the moon<\/p>\n
A tiny space for you, dear Father<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That was all he had, the kindest of men<\/p>\n
My father, the most generous<\/p>\n
Patient, wonderful and wonderful again<\/p>\n
Filled with gracious tenderness<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will be nothing without your shadow<\/p>\n
I will be nothing without your presence<\/p>\n
The warm sunlight in frosty snow<\/p>\n
You are the protector that brightens and enlightens<\/p>\n
