What a past I’ve had
No longer to have a future but what a past I’ve had,
Sharing my life with those of you here who I know must be feeling so sad
So would I, had I been you, but alas it’s me we are here to mourn
And indeed, to celebrate the years of my life to my passing from the day I was born
To those of you close to me, our journey has been as one
And whilst I understand how hard it will be, you really need to move on
Time is such a good healer and yes, things will be tough to start
But I know you’ll l have your memories to help you now we’re apart.
We cared and shared, were companions, confidents like sisters and brothers
And hopefully in our daily lives we were kind and considerate to others
My passing is my passing; my body has had its day
Farewell to all within these walls, from me from where here I lay
It’s time to wrap up my message and soon bring this event to an end
My love, my affection, my fondness of you; to family and friends I do send.
