PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

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
