Uncle

My uncle was a tall man
He stood head above the crowds

He was a gentle man
With a twinkle in his eye

He had very long legs
And strode along with confidence

As he walked through his life

And now that he has departed
I cannot say for sure, where he walks to next

But I do not doubt, he will be welcomed
Wherever he might be

And loved for his warmth
And his generosity

As I shall remember him
