You left quietly without a fuss You always had a smile to share A laugh, a joke A time to care A wonderful nature Warm and true These are the memories I have of you A beautiful life Came to an end You died as you lived Everyone’s friend You gave me years of happiness Then sorrow came with tears You left me loverly memories I will treasure through the years

Last Journey by Timothy Croote There is a train at the station With a seat reserved just for me I’m excited about its destination As I’ve heard it sets you free The trials and tribulations The pain and stress we breathe Don’t exist were I am going Only happiness I believe I hope that you will be there To wish me on my way It’s not a journey you can join in It’s not your time today There’ll be many destinations Some are happy, some are sad Each one a brief reminder Of the great times that we’ve had Many friends I know are waiting Who took an earlier train To greet and reassure me That nothing has really changed We’ll take the time together To catch up on the past To build a new beginning One that will always last One day you’ll take your journey On the train just like me And i promise that I’ll be there At the station and you will see That Life is just a journey Enriched by those you meet No one can take that from you It’s always yours to keep’ But now as no seat is vacant You will have to muddle through Make sure you fulfill your ambitions As you know I’ll be watching you And if there’s an occasion To mention who you knew Speak kindly of that person As one day it will be you Now i can’t except this ending And as it’s time for me to leave Please make haste to the reception To enjoy my drinks, they’re free!
