Sydney Airport In Twenty Eleven

Sydney airport in twenty eleven 
On route to help Scots go to heaven
My son Jeremy at six foot two
Cricketer Athlete and rugby man too
Big tough man with sense of humour
Loves whats real and hates wrong rumour
Standing there to wave goodbye
Stares at me and starts to cry
"I love you" is exchanged in tears
"Love you Dad" final words to me
Qantas Flight 1 above Sydney Harbour 
Just makes my tears and pain go harder 

I'll never forget Sydney twenty eleven
And I know I'll see Jeremy smile in heaven.
