This was written by Simon Groenveld, on behalf of his mother. It was on the Order of Service, and in Jacob's (her other son) words, "sums Mum up perfectly".
Bright shining armour all of gold
Impeccable fighter strong and bold
When god made you he broke the mould
Because you were The Warrior
Though battles fierce and foes immense
And shield and armour took some dents
You settled not for mere defense
Because you were The Warrior
With fierce attack and strategy
Dumbfounded was the enemy
Some were slain and some would flee
Because you were The Warrior
Time and battle took their toll
And longing turned to thoughts of home
And rest and peace so rarely known
Because you were The Warrior
For you the battles over now
Youve traded armour for victors crown
At your makers feet your sword laid down
Because you were The Warrior
