    For My Father - in - Law

    Uploaded by

    Siobhan
    The poem reflects on the funeral of the author's father-in-law, remembering the large crowd that gathered for his funeral procession and burial despite the cold winter weather. While many stories were shared about the father-in-law's life at the pub where he used to frequent, the author is left feeling cold and without comforting words after watching their son grieve the loss of his father.

    For My Father-in Law there's no silence in your aftermath even in death you managed to make me laugh a million prayers

    uttered above your head I could hear you say I'm dead ,I'm dead your funeral procession did you proud you stopped the traffic wow what a crowd then in the churchyard so many gathered around as they planted you firmly into the ground the cruel winter winds they whiped whilst we we wailed the crowds slowly departed we were left to our final farewell we all came together in the pub you used to frequent so many tales of the life that you spent

    you left your mark for good and for bad it's so hard to watch a son carrying his dad there are no clever words no balm for the soul you are gone so gone the world feels so cold by Linglang
