Below is poem, written by the Civil Celebrant, in honour of Mum called…..
My Last Sweater
I’m knitting my last sweater; I’m knitting it with love
With wool that will forever, connect us from above
I’m knitting it with moonbeams and each and every strand
Represents the many times I held your little hand
The thread will wind its way through the fabric of all time
Entwining me to you, oh this sweater is divine
And when you make the bed and all is in it’s place
I hope you hear my voice within and there’s a smile upon your face
I hope that you run marathons and warm up just like me
And your chicken wings are tasty just like they are at Loxley’s
Who’s going to make you laugh…. now that I’m not there?
I hope it’s times remembered, memories beyond compare
Who’s going to get it done right and put a hanky on her head
Or pinch Jon Lea’s bottom and make that perfect bed?
Well ….I leave it all to you now and I know you’ll do me proud
I was a shy extrovert ….who liked to hang out with a crowd
And if you can turn left it's so much nicer than the right
Just know I still remain with you even if I’m out of sight
Now I’ve finished my last sweater and the blankets soft and pink
I’ll just wait here for my sister perhaps we’ll skate around the rink
Because non of it really matters time is but a simple measure
Its those we love upon this earth is where we find our treasure
