Ode to Sir Paul Reeves
What a magnificent servant you were
Serving God
And serving Man in plight
Nothing but your quite demeanour
To disarm the most cantankerous and disagreeable alike
You served the Church
You served the public
You live to serve and thought nothing of it
Now your bright spark has vanquished
And only a memory of you remain
Recalling what you have done
Have destined you for fame
We who remain are lessened by your absence
Salute you and your deeds
That we take heed of your lessons
So farewell dear friend and think of us fondly
As you reside in your heavenly abode
While we below find something to fill the hole.=
