TED

Ted was Julie's Uncle,sadly 26/5/05 Ted passed away after a long illness.Ted was a very much loved grandfather,father,husband and friend to many people.We worked it out one night, that possibly during Teds years in The Merchant Navy he may have been on the ship that rescued my Dad during the war.He came from the Isle Of Man and he had fond memories of the place.I only knew Ted for 5 years,but in that time grew to love him and enjoy his company.I'll miss him as will all that knew him,especially his Dark Haired Angel.

AND,I AWAKE ONCE MORE.

MY DARK HAIRED ANGEL,
SHE'S STILL THERE,
"SHHHH-SHHHHHHH
ITS O.K"SHE SAID,AS SHE STROKES MY HAIR.

AND I DRIFT ONCE MORE,
TO THE FIELDS SO GREEN,
THE FIELDS,MORE GREEN
THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN.
I KNOW,AS A CHILD
I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
AS THE TRAIN TRAVELS DOWN
FROM THE HILLS TO THE SHORE.

AND I AWAKE,I AWAKE ONCE MORE.

MY DARK HAIRED ANGEL,
SHE'S STILL HERE
"WE LOVE YOU" THEY SAY
OTHER ANGELS ARE NEAR.

AND I DRIFT ONCE MORE,
BACK TO DAYS ON THE SEAS.
NO WAR ANYMORE,
ITS TRANQUIL,ITS PEACE.
AND,AS I SAIL ON THE OCEAN
A MESSAGE "HE" SENDS
THAT THE CREW IS MADE UP
OF LOST FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

AND I AWAKE,WHY,DO I AWAKE ONCE MORE?

AND MY DARK HAIRED ANGEL,
YET,SHE'S STILL THERE.
"I LOVE YOU" I TELL HER,
WE BOTH SHED A TEAR.

ITS THE LAST TIME I'LL DRIFT
NOW I'VE SEEN WHAT I SAW,
AND,THE PAIN HAS ALL GONE,
I'M NOT SCARED ANYMORE.
I LOVE ALL I'VE LEFT,AND I ALWAYS WILL,
AND,I'LL BE KEEPING AN EYE,
FROM MY SEAT ON THE HILL.
AND TO MY DARK HAIRED ANGEL,
WHO TENDED ME TRUE,
UNTIL YOU ARE READY,
I'LL WAIT HERE FOR YOU.
