THE MAN that meant so much to me,

I will never ever see.

Our Lord above felt it was time,

To take away this loved one of mine.

He was always there for me,

Full of kindness, caring and glee.

So much thought for other people,

I feel his name should be shouted,

From the highest steeple.

The love he gave, I surely now will save.

The kingdom of heaven, I feel he will pave,

With all his goodness, love and caring.

Which he was constantly always sharing.

Oh how my heart aches for him.

My life is now often grim.

So please dear Lord, take good care of my dear father

Who is with you up there. By Mrs Elaine Marshall,
