Skin, Eight Years On

My Brother Neil (nickname Skin) , eight years gone but still a big influence on not only me!

Skin, Eight Years On

I remember you at random times and suppose that’s okay

And I admit to some surprise you are eight year’s gone today

Your memory’s indelible, how I wish you still were here

For a game of golf or just a chat or a cuppa or a beer

I have to say you’ve left your mark and your family stays strong

But how much better life would be with you here, where you belong

I love you, miss you dearly, look forward to sometime when

We may be reunited and all together once again

Sometimes we laugh at others cry, occasionally have a few

Know that anything we do at all would be better done with you.
