I saw a light your fathers eyes
and heard contentment in his sigh
and watched him laugh as if to know
he'd done right by you... now that you've grown
I heard the wisdom of life’s knowledge in the words that he spoke
saw his resolve with world... in a way I could not know
and in his kind and gentle way
I knew of his contentment... though he did not have to say
And I saw you in his eyes as they gleamed with delight,
and you in his image, in his stature, and his stride.
and I knew this was your father
and you never had to say
the extraordinary Ed Powell...I will remember him that way.
