Bethan, Felicity, Oliver too
had to write a poem to you
came to see you last friday
about the life of Stormy
a fitting send off he had
of which the family is glad
and partially thanks to you
and also the rest of the crew
highlighting issue of veterans
Arctic Stars not getting them
some did, through the post
an utter disgrace I propose
forces must have top brass
envelopes show little class
we'd be speaking German by now
if my dads generation kowtow'd
Stormy's send off, can't stop there
government must show us they care
MP's best wishes, convoy museum
with respect for their freedom
owed to the likes of my dad
of his friendship, many so glad
thanks again for your interest in
dads adventures on a ship of tin
that at minus 60 was a fridge
yet dad was brave, didn't flinch
he dived in one time
icy waters without a line
deadly waters, can kill in a minute
bravery like that, WW2, bound to win it
now he's in a much better place
full of love and the divine's grace
no wars to fight, money too
his battle for life, couldn't loose
he is with the family always
now walking heaven's hallways
hey guys forgot to say
hey Rhod how do you do?
Had to write a poem to you
lisened to you sunday
at heath Hospital sadly
went to visit my dad
in his final days, glad
his suffering now ceased
in a better place definately.
Veteran of the second world war
tho his company never a chore
impacted on everyone he met
day before yesterday heaven sent
so forgiving, understanding too
and would never turn down a brew
selfless till the bitter end
our loss is the gain of heaven
'Stormy' Lovegrove was his name
now not in the ball game
i knew his days were few
when i listened to you
the song you played by James
got my heart strings definately
sometimes, when i look
deep in your eyes, i swear
I can see your soul
very apt don't you know
I thank you for your choice
of music, given me voice
kept me strong in our loss
to circumstance a little gloss
i attach a link about my dad
tho please do not be sad
he has gone to a better place
full of love n gods grace
will be in Mondays echo too
amazing man, that much is true
