An adventure is what we hoped for, A good story, a tale for life But it pains me to say the ending Wasn't the one we had in mind We found you in the Blue Mountains, Sleeping in a place named 'Sweet Dreams'. So, sweet dreams are what I send to you; Sweetest dreams for eternity I won't lie my heart is aching But Gary you have done us proud, Proud of everything you've achieved; Gary, you stood out from the crowd I'll never forget your charisma, Your kind heart, your love of life I'll never forget your dancing, Showing the pros how to style it right!! I'll never forget the way you Told your really terrible jokes, A massive ball of energy; I've not met a friendlier bloke Gary we're going to miss you... 'Miss you' doesn't even come close To the way we feel without you It's the good ones you miss the most So Gary you keep on dancing, You keep on dancing way up high And if we're ever feeling lonely We'll know to look up to the sky The star that shines the brightest, Almost mistaken for the moon... We'll know it's you up there young Gaz Shining bright on all those you knew. © Karen L Hamilton, 2013

Sweet Dreams (#2 of a 2 part poem)
An adventure is what we hoped for, A good story, a tale for life But it pains me to say the ending Wasn't the one we had in mind We found you in the Blue Mountains, Sleeping in a place named 'Sweet Dreams'. So, sweet dreams are what I send to you; Sweetest dreams for eternity I won't lie my heart is aching But Gary you have done us proud, Proud of everything you've achieved; Gary, you stood out from the crowd I'll never forget your charisma, Your kind heart, your love of life I'll never forget your dancing, Showing the pros how to style it right!! I'll never forget the way you Told your really terrible jokes, A massive ball of energy; I've not met a friendlier bloke Gary we're going to miss you... 'Miss you' doesn't even come close To the way we feel without you It's the good ones you miss the most So Gary you keep on dancing, You keep on dancing way up high And if we're ever feeling lonely We'll know to look up to the sky The star that shines the brightest, Almost mistaken for the moon... We'll know it's you up there young Gaz Shining bright on all those you knew. © Karen L Hamilton, 2013
