I’ve felt so sad since you went away dad
But I know it was best, and you need to rest
All the memories we shared make it not so bad
Having you up there, heaven must be glad
Your lovely big smile and the stories you told
Will stay with me ‘til I’m grey and old
Have you joined the cricket club up there?
Now you and little ted, you take good care
Enjoy your peace, hope you’re having fun
For now I’ll stay here and look after mum
And when it’s time, we’ll be back together
Until then, you’ll stay safe in my heart forever
