You’ve run the race you’ve cut the chase
You’ve landed on your feet
You’ve grabbed what’s left you’ve past the test
You’ve sat in every seat

You’ve been forlorn you’ve seen the dawn
You’ve cried your tears of rage
You’ve seen the wings and all those things
You’ve taken centre stage

Your winnings done you’ve had your fun
The prize you’ve held above
The great escape you’ve broke the tape
And all that’s left is love.


Jon Mewett

These moments
Will be lost
In time
Like tears in the rain

This simply dances off the page.

Your winnings done you’ve had your fun
The prize you’ve held above
The great escape you’ve broke the tape
And all that’s left is love.

Beautiful ending.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

A wonderful dedication to your friend. I enjoyed reading it. Your words are filled with times past shared leaving you with good memories.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
