Glad You Loved Your Family So


In memory of Les,my daughter Tammy`s father in law, who died a couple of days ago and leaves behind a son Roddy and a daughter Lesley, and his lovely wife Helen. This is for them too Thinking of you all xxxx


Life is strange and sometimes sad
But you came home and I am glad
That you were with the ones you love
God sent you fast from up above

Across the sea to your own land
And He took you by the hand
So you were not a world away
When you left them all today

They all love you and they`ll cry
But be glad they said goodbye
Husband, father, all you are
Sitting now upon a star

They were so happy you were there
Because they love you and they care
That you should not be far from home
Dying lonely and alone.

Now you never more will part
They loved you so with all their heart
I hope Les now that you find peace
As all your earthly troubles cease

You will still guard them from afar
And you`ll leave that door ajar
So you can keep them free from harm
Sending them a love that`s warm

And safe and kind and tender too
All of this Les you can do
Sorry that you had to go
But glad you loved your family so.
