GARY SPEED

Shock tears and sadness at the death of Gary Speed

Why, oh why, we cry, the loss and grief reported papers plead

So young with fun, talent, drive when alive now passed

Country wide from club to club emotional silence, then applause that last

As football families mourn from Wales to Leeds and clubs country wide

For Gary speed a football legend, player, coach, Welsh manager, he stopped the slide

We send our love compassion to his wife, both sons and Garys dad as life did cease

So goodbye, Mr Speed, husband, father and son, from a fellow Welshman, Gary, May You Rest In Peace.
