My Shining Bright Light

His urn sits on the table by the chair With portraits of stages throughout his life No longer will he be found sitting there No longer will he hug his pretty wife No longer will he be a shining bright light I will miss you, Father, for years to come I thank you, Father, for all you have done by, Joe Flach, for the Rhyme Royal contest sponsored by Dr. Ram Mehta and dedicated to my Father, John M. Flach who passed away on August 1, 2011
