Not my work, my friend wrote this for his Dad, who died on 13th November. I thought I would share it.

You can stay up dad
I won't be a burden on you
We'll watch an old movie from when you were younger
And you can tell me the ending too soon
Cause you knew it all
You knew just what to do
And when I got taller
I still looked up to you
An ale for a beggar
And a whiskey, before bed
I made a habit to tell you
Never under my breath
You were always my father
Right down to the end
But I am proud to have called you
My friend.
You can stay up dad
I won't be a burden on you
We'll watch this old garden grow again, soon!
