a life well lived
a life blessed
to know him
to be found in him
and known by him
a life so full
of stories to tell
where the journey meandered
through peaks of joy and love
and valleys of sadness and pain
yet he was there
you could not see him
he walked alongside you
calling gently then more audibly
until the hidden journey appeared
like a royal banquet
he has given you a hope for the future
he has revealed his plans for you
and so you stand secure
with eyes wide open
and mind set on new and glorious realities
each breath from the very first
one that drew in the air
and shouted live, live, live
to that final one you share with us
as you pass from life to life
and oh much more
so look back and frown no more
shed not a tear
rather look forward with joy, with hope
to colourful, extravagant celebration
where you will be seated with him
here we share in the celebration
of a life lived to the full
having passed seventy years
journeying here and there
upon the earth
with thankful hearts we share
and celebrate with you
standing hand in hand
we have come to say well done
we love you
you are precious to us
don't give up the race
because you are nearly at the finish line
