Poetry - My Farewell To Bill

 

 

 

Farewell to Bill (by Helena Wilkinson 2011)

 

When I think of Bill,

 

I think of his love for Aeroplanes, Bluff oysters and Swimming,

I think of his love for Pukehina, good Food and nice Wine,

I think of his favourite pets Vovvis, Rambo and Mattis

 

When I think of Bill,

 

I think of a man with a lovely smile,

A big warm heart and a wicked sense of humour

 

When I think of Bill,

 

I think of a great man who loved his family,

His beautiful wife, his sons and his grandchildren

 

When I think of Bill,

 

I think of him always being there for me and how much he loved me

 

Thanks Bill for everything, it has been a privilege to have been part of your life – I will love you forever.
