JACK TWEED'S POEM TO JADE If only I could stop the clock and turn back the hands of time, to a moment in a crowded room when your eyes looked into mine.

If only I could walk once more on a sandy beach with you, holding hands with Bob and Fred the way we used to do.

If only I could lie again in the warmth of your embrace, to feel your tender kisses and breath upon my face.

You were always there beside me through the laughter and the tears, you made me feel so special and soothed away my fears.

I have asked God to give me strength to face the days alone, to help me heal my broken heart and mend my shattered soul.

My life will never be the same without you by my side, grief almost too much to bear, pain difficult to hide.

But when we look into the sky for the brightest star above, Bobby, me and Freddie will send you all our love.
