Poem
AILEEN Aileen, my dearest darling wife Nigh 50 years bar a month. Half a century she filled with love. Aileen, wife and a loving caring mum. Her face a smile, a shining sun! The pain she suffered in her later years Caused one and all to shed many tears Her failing heart was her secret Not revealed till it was too late She shouted Mick and with arms held wide Stood up, fell, and sadly died. To all who tried to bring Aileen back In endeavors, you did not lack. The family thank you for doing your best Aileen suffers no more and now lays at rest. With broken hearts, we will say goodbye Perhaps the world will hear us cry Tears of sadness, tears of love For Aileen, mother, grand and great, Daughter, sister, aunty, and a wife, Never ever to be forgotten Aileen, my life... The weeping, sobbing never done, Our kids will always miss their mum I write with tears flowing down my cheeks Every morning my hurting peaks No longer will I hear her hear call my name Mick, Mick I'm in pain. It broke my heart then, again and again. Now my heart is broken beyond repair And I know for you all your heartfelt despair Aileen, mum, Nana, sister, daughter, aunt, in-law, wife, and friend. Her spirit will be with us all, Even now she is at my side as these words I write. If my tears were words, they would fill a library No, not 'a' library, everyone in the world! All our tears, our hearts unfurled, oceans of emotion. Her love for us all, her heartfelt devotion, Never to be forgotten, Aileen! .
