The sun is shining brightly and the wind warm on my face

but Kathleen’s here no longer she has left a sadder place

We went to pay respect to her to sing her one last song

to say farewell and rest in peace, attempting to stay strong

We heard the stories of her life, the things that she had done

her spirit, her humanity and her lovely sense of fun

as we listened we felt her presence, her character shone through

each person relived their knowledge of the Kathleen that they knew

The feisty, fun and smart Kathleen, The Mum, the Gran , the friend

The loving wife, the dancer,  actor, music lover to the end

The chapel was full of people saying their last tearful goodbye

The chapel was full of goodwill and love and I think that i know why

Kathleen was kind with a generous heart, a real community treasure!

She’ll be missed, but remembered with warmth and love and pleasure
