My Nan's Funeral

The following is a poem that I wrote and read for my grandmother Ruth's funeral in 2004. She was a kind, gentle and loving grandmother to me, my brother and my sister...a true superhero...Supernan =)

Ruth Walker
26.9.1927 - 7.6.2004

Supernan

It is but a short time
That we breathe here on Earth
However what is done with those breaths
Can affect many...birth after birth.

Simple pleasures...
Family, crosswords, friends and food
Enjoying such simple things
Held you in a lovable content mood.

It's this lesson of life
That we will treasure the most
And pass onto your great-gran-kiddies
With a toast

Miss you...we will
Fear for you...we will not
For Supernans fly to better places
...for ages and ages.

Enjoy being young and free again
And without concern or worry
As always sending you good energies
Love you lots...Ben, Grant and Jodie
