Ruth Savage
Age 72
Kingsholme, QLD
A hypnotherapist, a writer and self-reflector, Ruth is our ukulele lady! The sweetest blend of high and low notes and everything in-between, her writing is as hypnotic and melodic as she is. She’s no stranger to fame, having appeared on television, taken to the stage with her line dancing group and sung on charity albums.
When she’s not helping others navigate the emotional world, you can find her humming a tune, with a cup of tea in hand, book in the other, and her pen always on the ready.
If I Died Tomorrow
By Ruth Savage
If I died tomorrow, at my funeral I’d have
A captive audience, and for once it’s all about me,
I’m happy about that!
This might seem selfish
This might seem vain
If I could take a moment
I’d like to explain.
People who come to my funeral
Some in grief and deep sorrow
Take a moment to reflect
No one's promised tomorrow.
People who come to my funeral
May share a funny line
Like trying to write this poem
And getting it all to rhyme.
We only live once, I hear people say
Wait, we only die once, we have every day
So that’s my last message I wish to impart
Now head off to my wake so the party can start!
I’m sure my family will put on a good show
I've left instructions for the wine to flow.
Now would be the time to leave, I certainly can’t be late
Fingers crossed I’ll see Peter, waiting at the Pearly Gate!
