Our Da

I write you these words, A poet am not
My memories in writing is all that i've got
You'd turned 73 on Xmas day
And God took your life on Hogmany
Your in pain no more and your struggle has gone
And in us and the Grand weans you legacy lives on
I still wish he'd spared you a couple more years
So i'd not have this emptyness, the sorrow, the tears
I look at your life and the character that was you
And i wont pretend your stories you told were 100% true
But if i'm half the man you were i'll know i've done well
Your loss gives me pain but i'll try not to dwell
You think of your Da as evergreen and ever livin
Always havin and always givin,

**********************************************

I'm angry at the things we should've done but never did happen
I'm sorry about the things we should've said but i was too busy yappin
You took people as you found them and gave us a good life
Three boys two lassies and a wonderful wife.
You liked a wee bet but were never that lucky
You made the home brew and were renouned for your Sakki
My Ma always said money burned a hole in yer pocket
Thats a helluva trait, I know cos i've got it.
You'll never see me reach 30 that makes me sad
You'll never see my Ma reach 50 that makes me mad
You'll never see the lassies walk down the aisle all dressed in white
You'll never see Wee Courtney go to school and help her learn to read n write
But we shared a lot and those memories i've got and i'll never let that go
I've the pictures, the videos and a place in my heart and lots more to show
Ah God Bless You Da, my poems at a finish
But know that your memory, Your legacy will never diminish.

Rest In Peace
Your Son

Malcolm
On Behalf Of Us All


Back
I wish that you were still here beside me,
You don't know how much i miss you uncle jimmy,
I cant go to sleep because you are on my mind,
It makes me feel sad when i think of you,
I dont know when or how i'm ever going to see you,
its hard not having you here beside me.

So what did you do,
where did you go,
i wish you were here,
to let me know.
