In memory of Elaine Luckman

So here’s to you 

I will always remember her gentle laugh and smile

Nettle stings on her legs as the clambered over a style

How could I or anyone else forget she was always the same?

When that terrible illness took hold she held no blame

Filled with horrible pain and suffering deep inside

You wouldn’t have guessed how her hurt she could hide

And I feel sadness in my heart that you have been released

But with a smile of fondness you are now at peace 

So here’s to you my friend yes ‘our Elaine’

No more anguish no more pain
