And When The Bell Tolls For Me

And when the bell tolls for me,
I will first remember my time at sea,

Recalling all the ships I sailed upon,
The men I served with who like me are gone,

The good times I had when I visited port,
The lessons I learned and those I was taught,

Of the love and the laughter I share in my life,
Of my Son, my Daughter and my ex-wife,

And the sadness of leaving those that gave me joy,
Especially my Grandson Finley and my new wife Ooy,
Of my brothers Mike and Lance and my sister Gail , Erica my girl and Aaron my boy,

The sadness will be gently curbed by me knowing at last,
That God thought I had done something good in my past,

Then with all those loved ones gone that I knew,
I will join up as a new member of God's heavenly crew,

Where, I will remember all the good things from my past,
Then slide into the arms of my Saviour at last.
