A GENTLE MAN
For Geoff, our “Mister Big”
By Gladys Taylor
The warmest welcome
that I ever heard
Floated down the phone.
You spoke in smiling welcome,
every word
Assured me I was not alone.
Help was now at hand.
A
band of brothers, introduced by you,
Were there, to help,
To see me through.
Before tafn, I was lost.
To
you, there was no cost,
No Measuring Your time,
your energy and love.
You are our “Mister
Big”,
An angel, now at home
In a greater network.
Yet the time has
come
To say goodbye, for a while.
We’ll carry that sweet
joy
which flowed out from your smile,
and thank those lucky stars
that
we met a gentle man who would go that extra mile,
loving and giving right
to the end.
That was you Geoff, our
Unforgettable,
Accessible Friend.
