My Christmas Thank You To a Doctor Called Di,
Thank you Diana
How do you thank someone for giving you twenty-five years of extra life
Yes twenty-five years extra, Of being a Mother, Nanny and Wife.
How do you thank someone for being there for you
.
When you were so ill, you didn’t know what to do.
You thank them by, now being the person you want to be
.
And showing the world on live TV.
You thank them by doing all the things you never got the chance to do before.
When you couldn’t even venture out the door.
You thank them by living your life in the fast lane again
.
Now you are free of the nightmare, free of the pain.
You thank them by shopping at a packed Sheffield Meadowhall
.
A couple of weeks before Christmas, you are having a ball
.
You thank them by going to see your fav’ourite singer Cliff
.
You sit there with 12,000 people just to do this.
You thank them by running a helpline for others
meeting fantastic people along the way
.
You thank them by living your life day by day
.
You thank them by just being you,
You thank them in everything that you do.
