With the passing of my children’s father
I wondered if indeed there was life after
Sad thoughts sought to find a familiar figure
Seeing only sympathy cards and a floral mixture
I am inclined to believe that the dead are able
To make their presence noticed via cable
Ok readers, I see raised eyebrows with stares
Think that I am quite daft and in need of care?
Oh, I am teasing a bit…but not completely…
Flashing without a remote, very discretely
The silent television turned on then disengaged
Not once, but twice in succession… as if staged
Could have explained it if there was a power outage
The overhead lights did not flicker or lose voltage
My son and I both witnessed the strange display
Was Dad playfully passing by… but could not stay?
