‘Dave’
My HeroYou held my handwhen I was small
You caught me when I fellYou're the hero of my childhood
And my later years as wellAnd every time I think of youMy heart still fills with pride
Though I'll always miss you DadI know you're by my side
In laughter and in sorrowIn sunshine and through rain
I know you're watching over meUntil we meet again

I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm freeI'm following the path laid for me
I took their hand when I heard them callI turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another dayto laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that wayI found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a voidThen fill it with a remembered joyA friendship shared, a laugh, a kissAh yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrowI wish you the sunshine of tomorrowMy life's been full, I savoured much –
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too briefDon't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me; Treasure our memories, I've been set free
