Poem from David
Dear family and friends
I go but don’t weep for me,
I’ve lived my life so full and deep
Throughout my life I gave my best,
I’ve earned my rest.
I never tried to be great or grand
I tried to be a helping hand,
If I helped in a team, or if I helped on my own
I was more than repaid by good family
and friends I have known.
And if I went the extra mile
I did it with pleasure it was all worth the while.
If it brightened your pad
then let it be a small contribution
from my loved ones and me.
So don’t weep for me
I have to travel this road alone
… just let me go.
