Gone Away

Oh how we miss those loved ones
who have gone.
We miss them now, we always will
and the memory of them
still lives on.

Some times it's right for the suffering
to leave.
Others are forced early into oblivion by mean Gods
and we who are left here in confusion
can only grieve.

Oh how I miss those loved ones
who have gone.
I miss them now, I always will
and the memory of them
still lives on.

Michael Has Gone

Oh how we miss our friends
who have gone.
We miss them now, we always will
but the memories still live on.

Sometimes it's right for the suffering
to leave
And we who are left here alone in confusion 
can only grieve.

My pal was forced into oblivion by mean gods
but is with me still
he laughs, listens, advises but never complains
about his being ill.

No engine he could not fix, nothing
he couldn't drive
sometimes his driving left me feeling quite
lucky to be alive!

Goodbye my friend, now at last
without pain,
I won't have a fifty year friendship quite
like ours again.

Oh how we miss those friends
who have gone.
We miss them now, we always shall but
the memories will live on.

Funeral - September 2010

Tapestry

At the front is the picture
It tells a story or shows a scene
In colours.

Often many hands have toiled
For hours and days uncounted
To keep a record.

This fabric picture is fashioned
For we folk who follow on
To help us learn.

Now turn the tapestry over
See all the thread ends hanging?
In confusion.

Our lives are like a tapestry,
With many threads which hide,
A beautiful and complete vista
If we look on the other side.
