Barbara - mid December 2021

You were there for me
when I appeared
along the road
into your life

You were there for me
when I emerged
from the blackness
of the moorland

You were there for me
when I was lost
among the lochs
of the old island

You were there for me
so I was there for you
when old age appeared
so you could carry on

I was there for you
in your final year
as your world closed in
and became ever smaller

You were there for me
I was there for you
We were there
for each other

But now you're gone
I'll carry on
in your honour
and remembrance
