It's been four months now since my aunt passed. I just wondered if i could put the poem I wrote for her funeral on here. I miss her very very much. This is it.
A mum, an aunt, a sister, a friend,
a daughter, a granny the list has no end
An open home, and heart and mind
and open arms we'd always find
A hearty laugh and ready smile
Happy to sit and talk a while
Time for everyone, young and old
Helping others, a heart of gold
And remember her parties? some crazy nights
ladies tied to a handle by the toes of their tights
Men going home with one shoe less
Where the other one went was anyone's guess
The star of the show, our Dancing Queen
High heels and glitter, she stole the scene
But home with her grandchildren was what she loved best
With them in her heart she felt truly blessed
On her knees on the carpet with paper and paint
Love, understanding and the patience of a saint
Family gatherings, coffee with friends
University courses, the list never ends
Walking for miles, even chasing the deer
Firing the shotgun to bring in the New Year
Some sound advice, a helping hand
A cup of tea and a Blue Riband
The world today is a sadder place
without your happy, smiling face
Forgive us if we have a wee cry
Now the time has come to say goodbye
We'll keep you in our hearts forever
Remember you always, forget you never.
