CLIFFORD GEORGE WRIGHT May 21, 1923 - October 17, 2008 In memory of my father who passed away one year ago on October 17, 2008. You laid there fighting for each breath While angels hovered round your bed With open arms like God's own smile They led you to the light. Now what a battle you had won And so your journey then begun Straight to the land where spirits fly And your soul will never die You travelled lightly in my heart As you and I will never part Far beyond this world we see There's a place for you and me. So here I am your only son Thinking back on what we'd done You were strong and I was young Man we had our fights Everything I felt for you Has been turned to something new This is love I feel today It will never go away. And I thank my lucky stars We had a chance to heal our scars Now I don't have to hang my head Over things I wish I'd said. Lovingly Remembered by your son Wayne
