Written for the 'So it goes' badge - brief: 'Release an unfinished song.', this was written as a tribute to my mother, who died in November 2019 and stands as a positive tribute to her in our family's bereavement.

lyrics

When I wasn’t very old
You kept us warm when we were cold
You’ll be forever in our memories
When we had fears you made us bold

When times were hard you soldiered on
Never threatening our bond
Your love of family unbreakable
Our precious memories live on

You had a smile, to brighten a cloudy day
Your love of fun infectious
Rock solid come what may

You had devotion in your eyes
When we were fools you made us wise
Your love of family unshakable
You gave us love that never dies
Solos
You lived through war when you were young
Terrified of bombs and guns
You had such courage and resilience
In a world devoid of fun

When it was dark you shone your light
Avoiding wrongs and doing right
Your precious treasure was our family
Your memory is shining bright

So many friends, will miss your easy style
Your readiness for laughter
Most of all, your lovely smile

Now we’ve said our goodbyes
Now that we’ve all dried our eyes
Your love of family unshakeable
You gave us love that never dies (X3)
