This is the second episode of the Fatherhood series. Today's poem is a song lyric: "The Living Years" by Mike Rutherford, of Mike and the Mechanics. The first memory I have of this comes from when I was 10 or 11 years old, and how emotional it made my father, who like a lot of fathers, then and now, wasn’t really one for emotion. His father, my grandfather, had died before I was born, 13 years before this song came out and was a hit in 1989. It was written and performed by Mike Rutherford, the guitarist with the rock group Genesis, as part of Rutherford’s side project Mike and the Mechanics.
