Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
((Robert Frost))
Thank-you for being in my life. I hope you find rest and happiness.

We little knew that night
The 5th of febuary day
That god was going to take you
In your bedroom where you lay
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
That day god called you home
You left us so many memories
And you love is still our guide
Although we cannot see you
You will always be by our side
Our small family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as god calls us one by one
The chain will link again

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
