I'll try and not be sad.
Cause you have given us peace,
And God has given you relief,
From the pain of letting us all go,
The hurt you faced we do not know.
I bet you are sitting with all the souls you missed,
You parents, sibling, family and friends,
Have all come back to you again
Sharing the memories
Now, trying to hold back the tears.
69 you would have been today,
We are truly grateful to have known you this long,
You taught us so much, time to be strong,
And to use this knowledge for good,
To help others who are less understood.
So as the day goes on and night falls,
We all treasure your love in our hearts
As we see your face, we will forever embrace
Your smile, voice and touch
Oh we all loved you so much.
So fly mum oh so high,
Just like the birds you fed,
And we will pause, light a candle for you
And take the time to reflect
On the many positive legacies you taught us,
Being the best we can be,
Standing tall and standing free.
As we find a way not to be sad.
