THE FUNERAL

THE FUNERAL

It was eleven o'clock on the twenty third 
A funeral car in the distance was all I heard 
The car pulled up onto my mother's drive 
The sobbing had started we both wished my dad was still alive 

We got to the crematorium and the service was read 
So many nice words about my father were duly said 
When mum said her piece that's when I started to cry 
Father dear father I didn't want you to die 

Eighty eight years on earth are now taken away 
All that remains is for mum and me to be strong day by day

Our Dearest Kieran,

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for you, with the loss of your Beloved Father.  You got to spend many more years with him, than Larry did, his Father, who passed away soon after turning 62.  I was much more fortunate, my Father living until he was ninety-two.  But on the other side of the coin, I lost my Mother to cancer when she was just 50.  We realize, the pain of losing one's Parent, no matter how old they may be, is excruciating.  
We offer you our deepest condolences.

All our love,
Linda and Larry xxx
