Uncle Pat

I sent off this morning 
Down the road along the river 
Which I take but once a year 
My walk will take me by the shore 
Then inland for a mile or more 
From the cold sea spray 

A small wood stands upon the hill 
An old house near it lies in ruins 
Forgotten long ago 
And here in a clearing, overgrown with moss and ivy 
Is your lovely grave 

A dusk I will make my way 
Along the lanes and through the fields 
To where my cottage is 
But before I step inside for bed 
I'll look up at the stars as we had 
All those years ago 

So here's for Uncle Pat
