Description
Well, I am about to travel down under
Well, I am about to travel down under, no, Australia was not on my mind
The down under that is now planned for me is a down under of a different kind
My life with you is over; my being here has ceased to be
And all that came with being here, my presence, the love we shared, the laughs we had, what I brought to your life, sadly dies along with me
But what will not pass are your memories which you may share in the days ahead
And for those of you so so close to me try hard not to mourn but be positive instead.

You have your future ahead of you, move on and let me go
Hold on to each other dearly and to each other affection show.
Thank you for joining me here today, I wish you a future that’s bright.
About the Author
Keith Stokes-Smith was brought up in Solihull, moving to Worcestershire in 1997. Writing poems came easy to him in his twenties and early thirties.
In 2016, his mother passed away. Two weeks later, on a train journey to London, he belatedly wrote a bespoke poem for her funeral and wrote it as if she had composed it to be read out by her at her funeral; a strange concept you might think. From then on he found himself uncontrollably inspired to write more adopting words spoken by fictitious people of fictitious ages in fictitious circumstances. In essence, he has tried to be in the mind of the reader. His poems may be considered somewhat unique coupled very often with them having a sense of humour.
