May 27th Dorathy

 

May 27th   Dorathy

 

Gathered in the park in the sun,

Another day is all but done.

Celebrating a life.

Family and friends, companions, team players all.

 

You’re everywhere and nowhere baby, that’s where your at

 

Were you there above us all,

Looking down and appreciating all the fuss?

Although you didn’t want any.

With your family and friends, companions, team players all.

 

And it’s hi ho silver lining, and away you go now baby.

 

Gathered in the corner of the bowling green

By a cherry tree planted in your name

They all, all, say the place is no longer the same.

Did your family and friends, companions, team players all.

 

I see your sun is shining, but I won’t make a fuss. Though it’s obvious.

 

Who were you Dorathy? What dreams did you hold?

70 people blessed you, remembrances fondly told.

All agreed it was a sending off that you would have liked, it’s true.

Did you hold your arms in the air as we sang along for you?

Your family and friends, companions, team players all.

 

All gone our own ways home now

And the tree in darkness stands

A testament to a life well lived,

Now gone to better lands.
