I knew him through the cracks where music got in
conversations awkward somehow impersonal
but we had seen the light
and the link was as strong a bond
as his role of being my father.
I could never thank him enough
and that was good enough for him.
Can’t believe I missed this first time around. Fathers and sons eh? (Especially our generation) need a McGuffin to get close. Mine was fishing. You are very lucky to have had one of the most powerful links....music! A very concise but powerful poem Ray. Well done.
Thank you each and every reader Tom Tony Stephen Julie Stephen Ghazala Holden and Nazia for liking my poem.

Graham, late to the plate. I've been stressed out but I seem to be in the clear after tests! Thanks so much for coming through on this. It seems i'm typical of that generation. Music can be shared in silence and he taught me by demonstration at the piano!
