Roses; sweet and pure
Memories of times shared
These grow; endure
Dulcie Margaret Hunt
Born inthe Riverland; 1924
I met her in Goolwa
Simply living next door...
Dear sweet old lady
She was a pleasure to know
The best homemade sausage rolls
I ever had the pleasure to devour
A gift for a little bit of help
When she was in need too...
Delicious Anzac Biscuits
Of these we ate quite a few
For easing her burdens
Whenever we could too...
It’s funny how things happen
But this I promise you...
At Dad’s funeral in Berri
I knew Dulcie was gone too!
I don’t know how I knew
But as I picked up that sausage roll
I dedicated it to you!
I said “This is for you Dulcie!”
Shelley simply looked at me; surprised
“What? You don’t eat sausage rolls!”
Thursday 12th October 2018
A few weeks later I met Lynne Robinson
At the local shopping centre
Another neighbour from the units
She told me all about dear Dulcie
How she’d had a terrible fall
Was taken to hospital near her son
Down in Mount Gambier; South East
That’s where dear Dulcie has passed
Sometime in October 2018
Just the other day; I was thinking
About dear Dulcie again
Looked her up in Billion Graves
A site that’s free to use...
Dear Dulcie Margaret Hunt (aged 94)
Passed away on 6th October 2018
The same day as my darling dad
Something told me she was gone
When we were celebrating dad’s life
So in her honour...
I ate that sausage roll it’s true
Yes; sweet Dulcie Margaret Hunt
Rest In Peace! Here’s to you!
