Remembering Daddy

Canary smiles flit,

to faces in the room;

airplanes of paper wit,

thrown out upon the gloom.

Remembrances passed around,

free of charge or back tax.

Flowing with love unbound,

seeping into all our cracks.

His ashes a centerpiece...

tangible evidence, proof,

of the man we all caprice.

As we gather beneath his roof.
