TAYLOR, Gloria Beatrice. I'm planting dahlias mum; I wish that you could see To sit beside my garden, enjoying a cup of tea. But you are not here, and we all miss you so much But for your pain; the release we don't begrudge. Let mum's life live on in the flowers we smell Let her life's story live on in the tales we still tell. We love you Mum, Freda, Glenn, Myra, Theresa, Caryn, Warren, Darryl, Ian and Evelyn.
