George Henry Walter Binks

We say goodbye to George Henry Walter Binks,
who has sadly passed away, just when spring begins.

He was loved by all for his charm and wit,
and for stories he told with an added twist.

Right to the end he held his head high,
while fighting the pain that was hurting him inside.

So George Henry Walter Binks may you now rest in peace,
for we shall praise your love and courage which is now your
legacy.

Amen.

(my father-in-law had a stroke in February 2005 and sadly passed away that year. I wrote this poem specially for him and read it out at his funeral service)
