Title: Re: Tom McCready Post by: booder on June 25, 2009, 01:45:47 PM When I Was A Tikna......by Tom McCready When I was a tikna (child) A wagon was my home, And life was dogs and horses And country lanes to roam, And hawking elder flowers Or making willow pegs, Women wore the long skirts That didn't show their legs. When I was a young mush (man) Then I lived where I might, And life was girls and coursing And music or a fight, Work was grinding scissors Or breaking up a car, Old stuffing or the tarmac, Or painting with the tar. When I was newly rummied (married) In a trailer I did dwell, And I would bill the houses And my wife would fortunes tell, I watched my children growing To be men the Romany way, And I didn't know that Parliament Could take it all away. For was I not a travelling mush? Was I not a king? Who owned each sunny morning Each bird that i heard sing? I could always pick the strawberries Or course and kill the hare, I'd never have to worry I'd never have to care. Now that I am purro (older) And on council sites exist, How can I tell my children Of all the things they've missed? How can I tell my children Now life is cold and drab, Why I gave up all of this To rent a concrete slab.

Title: Re: Tom McCready Post by: sofa----king on June 25, 2009, 02:00:45 PM sorry to hear of your sad loss mate,
i hope this poem makes you smile, I WATCHED THE ORANGE LIGHT, A FLICKER FROM A SPARK. THE SMOKE WAS SLOWLY RISING, AS THE EVENING DREW TO DARK, I SAT THERE WITH A CHEAKY SMILE, AND A STICK TO POKE THE FLAME, I LISTENED TO THEM TELL THEIR TALES, AND THE LAUGHTER SURLY CAME, THEY TOLD OF MANY GENERATIONS, MANY THAT HAVE PAST, THEY TOLD THESE TALES WITH PASSION, KNOWING THEY WILL SURLY LAST, AS I WALKED OFF TO ME TRAILER, AND GETTING MESELF IN BED, I WONDERED WILL MY LIFE AND TRAVELLS, BE TOLD WHEN I AM DEAD, THE FIRE IS THE PLACE, FOR THEM TO KEEP THERE DREAMS ALIVE, TO TELL THE TALE’S OF MANY A DREAMS, AND A GENERATION THAT SERVIVED. R.I.P MR McCREADY Title: Re: Tom McCready Post by: Laxie on June 25, 2009, 02:18:34 PM OMG. I am so sorry Tom. Will be thinking of you and your family. xx

Title: Re: Tom McCready Post by: RED-DOG on July 03, 2009, 01:32:41 PM My sincerest thanks to everyone who rang me, sent a PM, or posted on this thread to offer condolences. It really does mean a lot to me.
In my society, it's important that people take a moment to pay their respects, and I'm truly grateful that so many of you took the time to do so. Thank you. Below is my reply to a private message from Tony, I don't think he will mind if I share it with you. On Wednesday evening we brought dad home Then we spent the night sitting up, reminiscing about him and telling tales by the fireside, On Thursday, hundreds turned out to pay their respects, including his 21 grandchildren, (22 if you count Tommy) and 22 great grandchildren. Someone we hardly know sent a restored 1961 "J" type Bedford to carry some of the flowers. The funeral procession took well over an hour to cover the 18 miles to the cemetery as we took him one last time through the lanes and past the commons where we used to stop. He's buried in a beautiful spot, in the shade of a tree overlooking the fields. It was a sad day, but I know that you will understand what I mean when I say that it was also a good day. I was proud of my family, my people and their traditions. I will be fine. I will continue to appreciate life's many blessings, as he taught me to do. Before he went I told him that he would always be with me, and he always will. My debit of grief will be easy to pay, it will be cheap at any price. x Title: Re: Tom McCready Post by: kinboshi on July 03, 2009, 01:44:52 PM It was a sad day, but I know that you will understand what I mean when I say that it was also a good day.
