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

Step on...

Step on Step up, step up to the call Step up, get up after a fall; Step up And step on Step down, step aside from a fight that isn't yours Step down, down the stairs and get outdoors; Step down And step on Step out, out of your home, out of your door Step out to wood, field, beach or moor; Step out And step on Step in to your new ideal Step in, make it yours, make it real; Step in And step on Step on the road, step on the track Step on the fools holding you back; Step on And step on Step off the gas, off the nine-to-five Step off the beaten-track and feel alive; Step off And step on Step back, take a breath and ruminate Step back, have a walk and meditate; Step back And step on Step beyond, beyond limits, beyond the wall Step beyond, stand firm, stand tall; Step beyond And step on Step on, keep going, never cease Step on and find your inner peace; Step on And step on
