Cue for a Beautiful Day

As a young child so curious and kind,
Mischief you could always find.
We urged you to lead the way,
From winning (Mo)nopoly to skiing Verbier.
A big move at 3 to the States,
From Arizona’s desserts to Minnesota’s Lakes.
Adorable in stars and stripes,
Siblings sharing giggles in the snow and the ice.

Chorus
Tonight we’ll raise a Jack for you,
You are still with us in all we do.
Your legacy thrives, our love fulfils,
Together as one, we’re 6 of us still.
It’s a beautiful day, you’d always say,
We’ll make you proud, if you guide the way,
Your spirit shines and always will,
Forever in our hearts, 6 of us still.

At 5 years home to the Peaks,
With village friends outdoor ruse you seeked.
In the bay with sibs, took a bow
Led as Wonka, stole the school show.
In high school, late tasks caused a stir,
Finding lifelong mates, laughter did endure.
Building in Cambodia you shone,
In the Beng Pae school your name lives on.

Chorus

To Sheffield Hallam, parent’s amazed,
Studying hard, and nights that blazed,
Lockdown love for friends and family too,
Our pride burst when 2.1 came through.
Barman to business, your journey came clear,

In shirt and tie, making deals sincere.
Hols with friends, fun and jinks,
‘It’s a beautiful day’, the cue for a drink.

Chorus

At 23, ‘venture called your name,
To the wilds of Canada, staked your claim.
In Squamish, mountains were your scene,
Life outdoors, it was the dream.
One last laugh with friends so dear,
Simple walk home, drew the end near.
Like an eagle, your spirit flies,
Over unskied slopes and sunny skies.

Tonight we’ll raise a Jack for you,
You are still with us in all we do.
Your legacy thrives, our love fulfils,
Together as one, we’re 6 of us still.
It’s a beautiful day, you’d always say,
We’ll make you proud, if you guide the way,
Your spirit shines and always will,
Forever in our hearts, 6 of us still.
It’s a beautiful day, you’d always say,
We’ll make you proud, if you guide the way,
Your spirit shines and always will,
Forever in our hearts, 6 of us still.
