\nMarch 2014.<\/p>\n
Through nineteen golden summers, he brought sunshine
\nthrough his life<\/p>\n
Then callously was murdered, ended by a young man\u2019s
\nknife<\/p>\n
Seven hundred at your funeral, thousands more walked
\ndown your street<\/p>\n
To pay respects to one young man, one too late to
\nmeet.<\/p>\n
Three years or more have passed now, but your name
\nwill never die<\/p>\n
For as long as there\u2019s a Celtic, you\u2019ll never be
\ndenied<\/p>\n
That very special honour for your work with The Thai
\nTims<\/p>\n
Where you taught the English language through singing
\nCeltic\u2019s hymns.<\/p>\n
Your smiling face was shown on the screens round
\nParadise<\/p>\n
On the day we beat the Gers 3 Nil, you surely heard
\nour cries<\/p>\n
The songs we sang were Celtic\u2019s but our hearts and
\nminds looked on<\/p>\n
To the Bhoy who wore those Hoops with pride who
\nlives on although he\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n
That mourning spread to Thailand where you taught
\nour Celtic songs<\/p>\n
And the children known as Thai Tims now feel that
\nthey belong<\/p>\n
To the family of Celtic who love them as they are<\/p>\n
They\u2019re the Angels taught by Reamonn and he\u2019s their
\nshining star.<\/p>\n
Their happy voices singing have gained fame
\nworldwide<\/p>\n
But brought to sing at Celtic Park filled their young
\nhearts with pride<\/p>\n
As tears rolled down fans\u2019 faces, they would not dry
\ntheir eyes<\/p>\n
For below them stood The Thai Tims, home at last in
\nParadise.<\/p>\n
God bless you Reamonn Gormley for the pleasure that
\nyou gave<\/p>\n
To the saintly kids of Thailand, in their hearts
\nyour name engraved<\/p>\n
\u201cThey say a dragon lasts forever and so does Tim
\nMalloy\u201d<\/p>\n
In the name of Reamonn Gormley, one unique Celtic
\nbhoy.<\/p>\n
