My father came to England
from another country
My father's mother came to England
from another country
But my father's father stayed behind
So my Dad had no Dad here
And I never saw him at all
One day in spring
some things arrived:
A few old papers, a few old photos
And -oh yes–
A hulky bulky thick checked jacket that belonged to the man
I would have called Grandad
The Man Who Stayed Behind
But I kept that jacket
And I wore it
And I wore it
And I wore it
Till it wore right through at the back
Tell a Friend
