We Had a Wonderful Uncle Author Unknown (modified) We had a wonderful uncle, One who never really grew old; His smile was made of sunshine, And his heart was solid gold; His eyes were as bright as shining stars, And in his cheeks fair roses you see. We had a wonderful uncle, And that’s the way it will always be. But take heed, because He’s still keeping an eye on all of us, So let’s make sure He will like what he sees

Like a shadow in the moonlight Like the whisper of the seas Like the echoes of a melody Just beyond our reach In the shadow of our sorrow Past the whisper of goodbye Love shines through eternity A heartbeat from our eye. Love always your sister, Sue xx

"Therefore for every warrior the best Memorial is the praise of living men After his death, that ere he must depart He shall have done good deeds on earth against The malice of his foes, and noble works Against the devil, that the sons of men May after praise him, and his glory live For ever with the angels in the splendour Of lasting life, in bliss among those hosts" from "The Seafarer", Anon
