Dicko

Tufts of cloud, free

Amidst a blue, blue sky

That's what I'll think of

As I say

Goodbye.

The quintessential larrikin

Australian through and through

Jesus, Mary and Joseph...

Dicko

I'm going to miss you.

A husband to my cousin dear,

A sister I could not hold nearer,

Best every father to four fantastic boys

Now men; tall,strong and proud,

Four blond heads bobbing in the pool

With a Dad who always made time.

Teaching them things about trucks and cars,

Playing "frogger", sending canetoads to the stars

Chants of "Lilliee" still rent the air,

As amongst the clouds I search

And hope that you have found

the rest and freedom

you deserve.

But clouds make no sound.

Love you, Dicko...See ya

IN memory of my cousin, Richard, who died last 1st November, 2005 and will be cremated today.
