Tonight .......i saw another star
Shining bright ....an not too far
Had not seen.... this star before
Before you left..for heavens door

You shone so bright when you were here
The people you touched.. made it clear
They'd never met....... a man like you
They never will .......an that is true

Passionate about ...the things you did
Your bike , the stamps , even the quid
But none so more ......than your girls
As if they'd come from different worlds

You committed .....every second you had
To secure your rights an make them glad
Share with them.......... all you could
Precious time ........as still it stood

You baked with them .......all the time
Cardboard castles......... were sublime
The squeals ...........of their delight
Echoed......... in your dreams at night

Analytical mind ....brilliant an unique
A memory clear .........for you to seek
There wasn't anything...... really hard
Your approach to it....... never marred

You dealt with people..... individually
Communication your forte.........easily
So when god called .......an needed you
Shocking all ..............in your view

As i look up .........into stars tonight
I know i'll see one close shining bright
An as time............ slowly ticks away
I'm sure this star ......will never fade

So raise your glass..... an have a drink
To remember the kiwi...... who did think
That his girls were queens in his domain
While the sun shines ...on tears of rain
