Personal Stormy Lovegrove was our dad
provided all our launching pads
to propel us into this world
amazing family all unfurled
grounded in pure love and truth
Stormy was a fountain of youth
we loved him for his smile
that graced us all the while
in a world constantly changing
his selflessness was amazing
an athlete till his seventies
all sport was indeed his speciality
with a vicious competitive streak
he always turned up the heat
swimming, snooker, table tennis
not loosing was his premise
made all the grand kids winners
his genes will keep them slimmer
more than that, an entertainer
and really never a complainer
he would always get stuck in
providing his brand of thinking
made a mark on all he met
such a man you wouldn’t forget
in cabaret, or on a cruise
diving into the pool impromptu
leaving indelible marks on all
any opportunity to have a ball
and had such grace in later life
was a joy to be by his side
would always go with the flow
if circumstances demanded it so
never any trouble whatsoever
supportive in any endeavour
especially if a worthy cause
sometimes he was Santa Clause
Aside from some amazing parody
He couldn't see bad in anybody
to have 'stormy' as a friend
would undoubtedly transcend
any darkside you might have
of his friendship, many so glad
and you are all here today
you are all a living testimony
Stormy's love, passion, no fear
to all he met, stormy endeared
etched his name on your heart
his creation was a work of art
an amazing life; completely
but if you asked him
'IT'S NOT EASY'
