Inside St Michael's Church:
in the heart
of us
of her
we sang
as best we could
with choking voices
and heads filled with
what-if's and thunder
in our ears
the organist played too high
for Northern grit voices
- but typical of the girl
she got the last laugh
and was carried by Scott, Mike, Paul
and three others I didn't know
to the super-duper sound of
Supercallyfragilisticexpiallydotious?
spell checked us all to the end, Kathy
smiles leapt with tears
and with your wings
beating
in our hearts
we were at peace
with your passing
- O' it's a lovely holiday with Kathy
