Peter Newman

In his posh pullover
Uncle Pete, was as ever, neat.
He always had a tale to tell
Wearing that big grin, as well

There with a huge bear hug
Standing on the hallway rug
A starchy shirt a smart new tie
With outstretched arms and sparkling eyes.

Caring about our every progress
Celebrating in any small success
Three generations of us
Lived within his generous love

He shared in times of joy for me
And in the sadder times you see
He never turned away.
With a strength that never swayed.
