Today was our Last Date.
I dressed and prepared
for You
My Love.
I was early.
For once I
was
Early.
The dogs
and I
Walked With You
from the gate.
I stood by your side.
We sang the music
Together.
Heard
The Words.
Together.
And then
You were gone.
Outside
The sun shone.

What Shall We Cook - Been Stew ?
Down
In a deep dark dell
Sat an old cow
Munching a beanstalk……..

III Farewell, dear friend
Today we laid you to rest.
All your fire and light;
And love that lit up your face at each meeting;
Your kindness, concern, insight and advice;
Hugs that shared both joy and sadness;
Quiet moments of prayer;
Thoughtful moments of gentle reflection.
Weeks would pass
But
Knowing you were there
Made Life the richer.
You loved life.
Extracting more from a moment
Than many
Find
In a lifetime.
Not that it was easy.
You shared enough of yourself
To reveal
Something
Of your own rocky road.
You were familiar with
Shadow
And personal doubts
And sorrow.
And yet
Always
When faced with another’s dilemma
You found
And pointed out some hope
Some small way forward
A corner unexplored.
Somehow
You gave nurture
And Love.
Dear Friend;
Mediator Extraordinaire;
Lover of Life;
Master of Ceremony.
We Love you. We miss you. We will never forget you.
Rest in Peace.
