Clive

You saw the hidden talents in me Things that even I couldn’t see You encouraged me to learn new things Qualifications and the glory it brings All the things that I have done Your support has spurred me on I wrote a book and some poetry too All these things I did because of you I learnt to drive and you were patient then I bumped the car but I drove again I once got the car stuck on the drive You never stayed angry with me Clive You lived your life and it was full Life was happy and never dull You loved the kids and they loved you A wonderful dad and husband too Life goes on as it always has done I carry on now that you have gone No one knows how life will be I thank you Clive for supporting me Since you’ve been gone I have had to move on Got my freelance journalist diploma done I have had a novel published of that I am proud I can play guitar and keyboard I sing out loud Nothing can change what you did for me Clive I am so glad you did but sad you’re not alive I have followed my heart and now I am gay Lot’s of things I have done since you passed away I think of you fondly as you were good too me Rest in peace now coz what will be will be You won’t ever have to suffer over life anymore God has taken you away and shut the door
