# Write something to be read at the funeral
|

|

A late night draft:
|
||
|
||
Grandad Bob, there's are pressure who leave an imprint in your life in ways you recognise, and many you don't.
|
||
I'll never say a bad word to anyone
|
||
I'm never angry with anyone
|
||
I'm never frustrated with anyone
|
||
I see everyone as a friend
|
||
I always have a smile for everyone
|
||
|
||
I'm continuing the Beswick tradition of bad jokes!
|
||
|
||
Thankfully grandad, your, and everyone around I think for who I am today
|
||
I can't speak to you anymore, but you live one though me in all the ways I see the world today
|
||

You left a mark on me that will last forever. Because of you, I approach the world with patience and friendship (and plenty of bad jokes, in true Beswick fashion). I can’t talk to you anymore, but I carry you with me every day.

You left a mark on us that will last forever. Because of you, I approach the world with patience and friendship (and plenty of bad jokes). Though you are not here, I carry you with me every day.

Whispering Hope by Septimus Winner
|
||
|
||
Soft as the voice of an angel,
|
||
Breathing a lesson unheard,
|
||
Hope with a gentle persuasion,
|
||
Whispers her comforting word.
|
||
|
||
Wait till the darkness is over,
|
||
Wait till the tempest is done,
|
||
Hope, for the sunshine tomorrow,
|
||
After the shower is gone.
|
||
|
||
Then when the night is upon us,
|
||
Why should the heart sink away?
|
||
When the dark midnight is over,
|
||
Watch for the breaking of day.
