If He Were Here Today

by GemmaDavies

If he were here today, he’d be wearing his favourite dark grey suit, He’d probably spill something down it, but he’d still look ever so cute. He probably would not of heard a word during your ceremony, But would of sat their grinning, just staring at his beautiful Toni. If he were here today, he would be smiling proudly from ear to ear, And although he wouldn’t of admitted it, he would of shed a tear. He would cheerfully raise a glass to you both, with rum and coke of course, While waiting for the hog roast and looking forward to lots of apple sauce. If he were here today, he’d be happily dancing in his wheelchair, Waving his arms around and running people over without a care! To Adam, he’d say “look after her” while scowling, ever so slightly, To Toni, he’d say “Congratulations darlin” hugging her tightly. If he were here today, he would wish you a life of love and laughter, And hope you have the best life together; happily ever after. I know he’d ask me to tell you, as he was your biggest supporter; “Happy wedding day my new grandson and my favourite granddaughter”.
