Lillian 

I met this lady,
 in hospital the other day,
She had me creased up,
In the nicest of ways.
Was something about her,
Her smile i think?
 that made me happy.
The way she praised me,
Even though only just met.
She’s 1 in a billion,
Not quite 92 yet.
I’ve not heard her story,
But she seems like,
A world war 2 Wren.
Fighting for her life in our own lands,
From up Lancashire,
Home of our warplanes,
bomber friends...
Each time I passed,
this amazing lady lillian,
I wanted her knowledge,
On how to everlast,
And how to live for this long.
She must be doing something right,
As her soul is like a vibrant colour,
 so colourful and vast.
Her soul beams out light,
 that is so strong and oh so bright.
What i would do,
 to have an ounce of her heart,
So full of might.
Her mind is sharp,
And her wit is quick.
She’s going home well,
No longer sick.
Im not religious,
But if there is God,
 of sorts out there,
Please protect lillian,
As she would others,
With immense,
Love and care.
If she were 50 years younger,
I’ll have definitely been drawn to her.
Lillian is now,
Eternally in my memory,
Now and forever.
Please make sure you look after this oyster Pearl,
She’s 1 in a billion,
Out of 7.6 in the world.
