 Penniluck's legacy

A Quiet Man


To my son Clint Lawrence Budgen who is 43 years old today. He has suffered much from cancer, but he beat it, although it still runs through his blood like a time bomb. He is also insulin diabetic and never complains. Today 23/8/14 43 years ago he came into this world and is a treasure. love always son Mum xxxx

My son, My son, A quiet man
Says little, but does all he can
To help all those who are in pain
To believe and start again

A lift for the old man down the road
That old lady`s heavy load
He will carry on his back
Steep though be the homeward track

Inside I know he feels quite bad
And sometimes he looks really sad
I can`t mend his broken heart
Only take a tiny part

By being there when he is low
Today I want you son to know
I am aware you love me too
Which shows in everything you do

No complaint as you push my chair
Thank you son for being there
Today you`re forty-three years old
Make the rest be solid gold

God saved you and he has a plan
So don`t give up, yes give a damn
About yourself for you my son
Are here to help just everyone

Have a happy day today
Make it good in every way
Dream and hope and you will see
You`ll be all that you can be.
