As the year closes out
the brown grasses bend
in the unceasing wind
over the empty machair
Your voice still rings out
and your laughter is echoed,
your smile reflected
in the sun on the waves
Your faithful companion
of the past five years
looks out at night time
still wondering when you'll be back
We said good-bye,
that night in Lochmaddy,
never knowing
it would be for good
2019 will be a new start
we'll remember you
whilst going forward
swim strong, mermaid
