Knockin On by David Ellison

It was also with great sadness that we recently heard of the death of Syd Winship again it goes without saying that everyone who knew Syd will be devastated to hear this news. Syd was a much loved husband, Dad and Grandad as well as being one of life’s true gentlemen, in every sense of the word. For many years, Syd supported LIVErNORTH so much in his quiet and unassuming way, which involved giving talks to community groups promoting awareness of the importance of Organ Donation. He too will be greatly missed by all those who were fortunate enough to have known him. Our sincere condolences go to Syd’s wife Maisie and all of his family.

Knockin On (by David Ellison)

Isn’t it strange How old we all look With our grey hair Deep wrinkles and jowls? On protesting knees We’ll try not to freeze (And don’t get me started on bowels!) Eschew the armchair And get stepping out there Best foot forward No matter how far Walk a bit everyday To keep ageing at bay And keep reaching for that distant star!
