For Brian Philip McSweeney
April 10, 1930—November 16, 2007
Loves of your life
Your support, your line
Heaven and hell sent
To help you be fine
Paradigm from parents
Love set within
Furthers your life in hope
That the bedrock begins
Distracts and deviates
Rallies and rails
Love of your choice
Let disaster dictate
I could not be without
I cannot be within
I learnt. I gave
He left, I stayed
Leaving depth within
To explore who to be
The day after
A life is restoring
A decade on, sadness as strong
I cannot share or talk with you
I miss you as much today
I love you now as then
