From fifteen years at Grays old loom.
Where the amazing grace was spun
She filled the factory and the room
With work that's never done.
A Spooler,cutter, veleter too
From Elmbank street to Jeffreys coachworks side.
She did it with Newton pride.
The finest skater on ice
A dancer at the Bobby Jones
She found her rhythm lived her life.
In the musics sweetest tones
That's the chance you take She'd
Sing with Eddie Fishers grace
and a smile for every living thing and a light upon her face.
On the tortoise waggon far away
to Austrias mountain height
With Jack her soldier come what may
To watch the stars at night.
And on the Newton shore
Where the labradors ran
Para1 and two and three was Hoopy loopy leading the clan.
She walk by the Ayr sea
From 85 Green street to 56 York Street door
She was heart and soul with a wave for neighbours she lived among and a kindness they all would know.
At Jenny Campbells she find a beat
In the tap dance class she'd share
with clicking heels and a shuffle sweet.
She was the liveliest lady there.
Though the stroke may slowed her step
It never dimmed her spark
With Big Andy's friendship a promise kept
To keep away the dark.
At wee Josie's for a sausage roll
or Costas morning light
She had a kind and social soul
That made the world feel bright
She loved the kids at Halloween
the gossip and the fun.
The bravest lady we ve ever seen
Until her race was run
As Beauty and the beast played low
She faded like the tide
But she was scared or sad to go
With me right by her side
Now the curtains closest Loch Lomond shore
As the runrig athem plays
She's missing her Jack no more
Through all the their eternal days
Beyond the rainbows end hand in hand
Where music never ends
The finest soul in the land
With her family and her friends
Love ❤️ you mum til I met you at the rainbows 🌈 end. Xxxxxxxx
