You were always the kind of bloke
That took the leading roll
So when you thought the time was right
You took complete control
No one will ever comprehend
Why you thought it was time to go
was it a selfish act, were you insane?
You must of been so very low
Life is like a game of poker
You have to play the cards you hold
But sometimes when the chips are down
I suppose you have to fold
Even to your closest friends and family
Your pride would of never let you fully explain
Your mixed up feelings of anguish, frustration
Your problems and your pain
In your world all was black and white
There were no shades of grey
You achieved your goals by hook or by crook
It wouldnt have been you any other way
You had no room for half measures
You attacked everything head on
Always all or nothing
Never gave up till the task was done
When I look back upon your life
Being a parent was your biggest success
True dedication you had for your boys
Always one hundred percent and never any less
And now your story has come to a close
And your accepted in another land
One day i will meet you at the gates
And shake you firmly by the hand
