There’s a robin in our garden,
Amongst the yellow blooms.
He still cheeps along with the whispering waves,
Spring is on the loom.
The tea’s on the kettle,
There’s a battered box of tools.
A freshly ironed suit and tie,
Waiting in your room.
Though you may not be here,
Even though we know you’ve gone,
Our love will never stop;
Our hearts, always full.
We see you watching down on us,
Smile as we thrive.
Joining in with our laughter,
Following our lives.
A proudly presented box of medals,
Photos adorn the walls.
A book full of cherished memories,
Is being written as we celebrate you.
There’s a robin in our garden,
Always gentle and smart.
He doesn’t perch too far.
He’s here,
Deep in our hearts.

I would like to keep on traveling all over the world with my family, and create more memories with them. Also, I will keep on learning and reading! I would like to help the world by finding ways to run on clean, renewable energy, and also learn more about deep-sea marine life.
