Nobody stops,
They pretend they don't stare,
When they see you, old man,
just sitting there.
On that brown painted bench
in that popular park,
Sometimes until way after dark.
Sometimes you bring some feed for the birds,
And people know you as being quite absurd.
But only when they look close do they see,
The plaque that says

"Vivian, my love, RIP".

Angel In The Night

I imagine you happy. I imagine you here. But sometimes imagination just isn't enough. You should be outside enjoying the sun. You should be laughing with all the joys.

RIP Grandad

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

Forgotten Souls

I took a walk, a morning fine The sky so blue, the sun so high And took a shortcut past a church A graveyard: rest for those who die I stopped and saw the rows of stones Some lopsided, some...
