When you died You left yourself behind And I should know I see you all the time. I see you in the mirror I see you in my mind. Other people see you too They have seen you in the tavern Knocking back a few. They have seen you when your driving As clear as clear can be. They have seen you in the shopping isle Holding up the Queue. So when you died You left yourself behind We should know It is clear for all to see. Because when you died You left yourself in me.

I had not read this one and man did you hit the nail on the head. My father is 87 years old and still kicking. Everyone that knows us will say that I am him all over again, in looks and mannerism. Fantastic poem.
