Now he is here

His journey has brought him
Not too far, not too near
From fifties big smoke
To leafy Hertfordshire

In Stevenage found him
His Christine, his love dear
In Ware they would wed
Within the two year

Children would bring him
Pain, joy and cheer
But the one thing he never showed
Was one ounce of fear

When Feb Seventeen brought him
Bad news to hear
It was time for those close to him
To shed a tear

Alackaday for him
Had less than a year
From fateful diagnosis
And now we are here

But fear not for him,
Come raise a beer,
Remember our Geoff,
Friend, brother dad, and husband so dear

Yes friends fear not for him,
He'll always be near,
Just look inside ourselves,
For now he is here
