I think of you more when I’m tired
When my day hasn’t gone quite to plan
When I just want to talk of my problems
With the greatest example of man

I search for your smile in the sunlight
But the weak autumn sun makes it tough
Cold days make it hard to get started
And fond memories just aren’t enough

I search for your voice in the wind rush
Some meaningful truth to impart
But the fact is it’s not quite that simple
So I search for your voice in my heart

Well, my point is I hope you can hear me
my point is I want you to know
That I’m living on now for your memory
So your pride in my life always grows

-Daniel O’Grady

is a Plant Manager at a Chemical Manufacturing site who enjoys writing about whatever comes to mind each day, capturing his thoughts for future reference.

He draws his inspiration from the semi rural environment he lives and works in, the woodland he wanders through and the lanes where he enjoys running and cycling.

He also enjoys photography where he tries to share the beauty of the world as he sees it. His ambition is to write a fictional story based on his path through grief, maybe retirement will allow more time, maybe it won’t.
