One year On (rhyming version)
One year ago today we sat on the stair
You in your dressing gown – the stair was
our chair.
I came in as usual but I knew something was
wrong
The lights were all off you said “He’s
gone”.
Just as simple as that
Just a plain fact
I knew straight away
Not merely gone for the day.
Not over at Jim’s in Scarborough
Not down the club in Armley.
The long walk from which we do not return
Happy Valley, Valhalla, Heaven’s Gate not
spurned.
How odd, how circular, the day of his birth
Should turn out to be the day of his death.
Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end
And from our hearts on this anniversary
All our love we send.
