We remember and thank you Val, today, on the Sunday which would have been your 80th birthday for your friendship and the gift of your poetry: a pleasure which keeps on giving.
If I appear mute
In this illustrious company,
I suggest you be astute
And leave me to my reverie!
My muse is William Topaz McGonagall,
My thoughts form in verse.
My penchant is to chronicle,
Then pour out like a curse,
On colleagues, friends and family,
In rhapsodic rhythm and rhyme,
Birthday tribute and workday homily,
‘Which will (not) be remembered for a very long time!’

Each of Val's poems I've seen are different and it is good to get to know her just a little. I've recently heard 2 songs she wrote words for on John's new cd.. The music and words are a lovely combination.
Val was a beautiful person and is sadly missed. She had a gifted way of expressing her feelings and thoughts.
