My Father's Eulogy

Greater or smaller still
He removes himself from 
Lives less our greater than his
There is no competition, no judgement
Loss is loss 

The weathered recliner that sits in
the distance a reminder of tales unspoken
conversations that never took place. 

Who will be my daddy,
Now that your gone
