Our Hero
You held our hand when we were small
You caught us when we fell
You are the hero of our childhood
And our later years as well
And every time we think of you
Our hearts still fill with pride
Though we will always miss you Dad
We know you’re by our side
In laughter and in sorrow
In sunshine and in rain
We know you’re watching over us
Until we meet again.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
