So, this is where I found you
My dearest eldest son
Your eyes upon tomorrow
And dressed for your departure
So young, so proud, so free.
So this is where I found you
Dearest husband, only one,
Your eyes that mine would follow
That dreamed of our first pasture
With seeds across the sea.
So this is where I found you
Dearest father, now beyond
Your eyes would miss the sorrow
That flowed in your hereafter
When you were torn from me.
So this is where I found you
Now they all are gone
Your eyes call, bid me borrow
Of a son, husband, father
To see what came to be.

This is indeed an amazing poem based on some unforgettable relationships which are now a part of family history recalled with love, affection and solemnity. Thank you, John. You have such a great expression.
