Father there is no other like youFather
There is no other like you
That is holy
Also we sing praises to your name
You are the one who made us
With your holy hands
You came to judge the living
And the dead
Also you died in the cross
The third day you rose again
Also you are the ruler of earth and heaven

HyvastiButting heads, locking horns
the difficult child of three
if anyone was causing grief
It was always going to be me,
a stubborn chip
from a stubborn old block
never at ease we two
so I left and made a life for myself
far from the one you knew,
you pushed too hard to tie me down
I went and you felt betrayed,
you...

Love Ends In Cemetery[Verse 1]
Well, hello there, Romeo — didn’t hear you knock
Waltzin' in like love ain’t got a lock
You've got big dreams and a borrowed car
And a fistful of daisies like that’ll get you far
She’s got your name in her diary heart
But I’ve seen boys like you come apart
You think you're chasing paradise and lace
But you’re one...

What If He Says That to Our Daughter-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind.
“Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together.
Late at night,
when silence drapes...

ConversationsConversations with my father,
Bittersweet, and maybe sad
Conversations with my father
Talks that we never had.
Companionably silent
As we set off walking
Neither of us known
For doing too much talking
Down Lambwath road
To Billy Bulson’s farm,
Each with a broken 12 bore
Tucked safely underarm.
I was at his hospital bedside
On the day that he died
Once alone in the car
I...

He Grew Old
When he was young. I thought he was old. It never occurred to me that I might be wrong. That old wouldn’t show up for years and years, decades even. He wasn’t tall like my grandfather. But he wasn’t short either. He had a habit of biting his cuticles that I inherited and would be...

The Rooms he no longer Enters
His soul portrays the eyes of a wolf,
lost without his pack - banished from his territory.
In his deceptive demeanour,
hiding his depressive state - he howls at the moon.
An outcast unable to dream,
he adorns a false smile at sunrise,
as he's still scarred from
the house he once built - brick by brick.
Where walls of lullabies,
were created...

many times, we caught no fish

Time Writes in Rhythms of Light
there were times when I did not understand him
times when I fought with my heart, to remember
time would not forget the days that were so grim
it wouldn’t be that long, just before December
he would tell us that love had come to his life
years after this, I’d see that stirring ember
sparks of hope divine to heal...

FATHERS AND SONSMY BOYS ARE MY LIFE.
BEING WITH THEM MOST OF THEIR LIVES TILL NOW, WITH THIS UNFORESEEN CHANGE HAS AFFECTED US AND CHANGED OUR LIVES.
OUR QUALITY OF LIFE HAS DIMINISHED.
I AM NOT AS HAPPY. FOOD DOESN'T TASTE THE SAME. THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE WITHOUT MY BOYS. WHEN I SPEAK WITH THEM, I CAN HEAR IT IN...

Mother, Father are weepingMother, father are weeping
Because the heavens didn’t send their heart a soul
The wind, their house is breaking
And the morning is very cold
Outside they find
With the earth in the sky
That their sound is not here
Nor is it nearby
There's a train screaming angels to lower their heads
And a cold concrete block reeking of death
When no one was...

You knock nowFather
I miss you
I wish we were close
You're not that far,
we're in the same house
We eat dinner together
We converse by silence,
You smile at me, fill the space
with jokes and love
That we both know I won't respond to.
But we pretend, we all do,
That we are a happy family.
Like I don't just act like you don't exist.
You...
