I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield.
Iβve always called him βSir Kevβ and itβs hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate β€οΈ
After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it βArise Sir Kevββ¦
When shadows gathered, and hearts would break
Kev knew it was time to takeβ¦
One step, another, through wind and rain,
Carrying hope, despite the pain.
He never stopped, mile after mile,
Driven by loyalty, strength⦠a smile.
For Rob, his friend, he aim was true
Showing us all, what friendship can do.
Not measured in trophies, applause, or fameβ¦
But turning up, again and again.
And in every mile he chose to run,
He showed us how friendship is truly done.
