Description
An example to us all you were
If there were only words to describe today
Our sadness and despair
But alas, words are not enough
To show how much we really care
Your parting has hit us hard
Though whenever, it always would
For what you’ve given to our lives
Has been nothing else but good

Your kindness, warmth and companyYour loving words and deeds
Your smile and considerate nature
Gave comfort to our needs
An example to us all you were
Your light, it shone our way
We hope we tread in the path you left
As others might do today
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.
