Shine on, You, Crazy Diamond..

MY, DAD,WHO, PASSED,AWAY, MANY, YEARS, AGO, WAS, A,MAGICIAN.
HE, LOVED, LITTLE,'CARD TRICKS',OR, 'OPTICAL ILLUSIONS', AND, SUCHLIKE.
HE, WAS, A MAGICIAN, BECAUSE, HE, ALWAYS,PROVIDED, FOR, ME, MY, SISTER, AND, MY, BROTHER, NO MATTER,WHAT.
AS, A YOUNG, MAN, HE, BRED, BUDGERIGARS, TO, MAKE, SOME, EXTRA, CASH...
MOST, MAGICIANS, SEEMED, TO,HAVE, TRAINED, DOVES,BUT, HE, HAD,BUDGIES, AND, COCKATIELS, AND,HE, BOUGHT, MY, MUM, A LITTLE CANARY, WHICH, SANG, IT'S, HEART, OUT, EVERY, MORNING, WHEN, SHE, CAME, INTO, THE ROOM.
THE CANARY, LIVED, FOR, AN, AMAZINGLY, LONG, TIME,BUT, FINALLY, FELL,OFF,
IT'S, PERCH,ABOUT, A WEEK, BEFORE, MY, DAD, TOO, FELL, OFF, HIS, PERCH.
HE, COULD, FIX, ANYTHING,HE, TURNED, HIS, HAND, TO..IT, WAS,A CONSTANT, SOURCE, OF, AMAZEMENT, TO, ME..BECAUSE, HE, HAD, LITTLE, FORMAL, TRAINING.
ONE, OF, HIS, BEST, TRICKS, HE, RESERVED, FOR, CHRISTMAS TIME.HE, WOULD, GIVE, ONE, OF, HIS, GRANDCHILDREN, A PRESENT, NEATLY, WRAPPED, AND, TIED, WITH, A BOW.EAGERLY, IT, WOULD, BE,UNWRAPPED..I, WATCHED, MY, OWN, DAUGHTER, DO THIS,ONE TIME..BUT, WHEN, THE WRAPPING, WOULD, BE,REMOVED, SHE, FOUND, ONLY, ANOTHER, LAYER, OF, WRAPPING..PUZZLED, SHE, WOULD, CONTINUE, TO, OPEN, UP, THE PRESENT, ONLY, TO, FIND, MORE, AND, MORE, LAYERS, OF, WRAPPING, PAPER...FINALLY, WHAT, HAD, BEEN, A LARGE,BOX, TURNED, INTO, SOMETHING, THE SIZE, OF, A MATCHBOX...CAUTIOUSLY, SHE, OPENED, IT..ONLY, TO, FIND, A NOTE, WHICH, READ,'NOW, PUT, IN, BIN'...
HER, FACE, WAS, A PICTURE, OF, PUZZLEMENT...BUT, IT, LIT, UP, AGAIN, WHEN, HE, PRODUCED, THE REAL PRESENT, HE, HAD, FOR, HER, FROM, BEHIND, HIS, CHAIR...
PRICELESS..WE,ALSO, SAW,A SIMILAR, TRICK, ON, MY SON, WHO, OPENED, HIS, 'PRESENT',ONLY, TO,FIND, A BATTERED,PAIR, OF, ANCIENT SNEAKERS, AND, A SIMILAR, NOTE....
