Dedicated to my brother ~John 1976-2006 Her love of son was ne'er in doubt, Nor gloom, nor pity filled her heart, With final breath… his candle out, Then mother and son too soon did part. And though her pain within, shall dwell, No loss was e'er as harsh her grief - Than when her son to death befell, His life alas… was all too brief. Their bond of love no death shall steal, Nor joy, nor hope, nor memory fade, His touch no longer shall she feel, Since low'd to earth his body laid. But the righteous live in eternal peace, Nor death, nor hatred, will not taint, His loving ways shall never cease, For God made him… an immortal Saint. Poetry is just the evidence of life. |

Bill you wrote so softly of such sorrow. I scarcely took a breath as I read your exceptionally moving words. From the bottom of my heart I send my love and compassion to you and your Mother and to all those affected by the untimely passing of your brother. In some ways, he will be even closer to you all now. Love & Eternal Light, Linda |
