At the summit of cat bells
I saw your soul and essence
It was generous patience
and supportive dignity
Your help was sovereign; and
belief in sovereignty
was in your blood and your proud
use of
a kind liberty
Your peace wed Derwent Water
On the nuptial rim, trees were
turrets of thanks for your love
or how you blessed, I infer
these legends mapped your person
my dear dad of forgiveness
I needed your example
and your
heady hopefulness
