Bill Brownd

Bill Brownd, was a man

Who walked this earth, and left his stamp

From the moment I met him, he was kind

He laughed when he was happy and sometimes he cried

Bill Brownd, really enjoyed life

His daughters were his pride and their children to him were grand!

Bill Brownd was a remarkable man.

He did many things,  he was an officer of the law

and even helped those whom tragedy would befall.

His friends were many years known, his brother even came home

to see him on his way.

Bill brownd, such a friendly soul, I watched as his daughter cried

she never left his side, she would just sit, and hold his hand.

The angels filled the room, to carry him to the father

and just before he said goodbye, I saw God's amazing grace

Twinkle in his eyes.

Bill brownd was a man, who surely left his stamp

In our hearts!

I thought the start of the

I thought the start of the poem was a bit disjointed and faultering but once you hit the line "officer of the law" it all came together and ended up being a very nice poem. Kieran "Mind, how you go!" - Roger McGough's poem for LSD Awareness Week
