YOU UNDERTOOK OUR DREAMS
( For Ray Wilson )

Your undertaking was your part in victory 

Utmost responsibility
Utmost respect
Your job done efficiently
Your job done well 

No glitz and no glamour
But perfect in your preparation
You did what you had to do
Until the task was complete 

Your legacy –
Remembrance and celebration
Of that glorious occasion
That now seems such a lifetime ago 

The retrospective reflection
That brings back joy and jubilation
And the warm glow of pride
For everything done that day 

The shared experience
Still living, still breathing
Still alive, still real
That brought a people together 

And as we savour the unity
This sporting sacrament
We remember the glory of the past
And the hope that is to come 

We remember you
The undertaker of our greatest dream

Paul Cookson
