A whole year...

..ago today

The thought of someone running
Comes jogging to my mind
I see legs with shorts, a Tee shirt,
Topped with a smile so kind.

A cheery wave when passing
Wiped away the glummest frown
When Marathon McCarthy
Ran through Devizes Town!

And then I see him walking
With Sylvia by his side, 
From High Lawn to the Market Place, 
His chest puffed out with pride.

Best wishes to his Family,
I'll support them where I can,
Because amongst his great acheivements, 
Bernard was a gentle man
