A repost in memory of my Cousin. Ronald John Meehan. Born 26/11/1952 Died 29/1/1999 We weep not that you are gone but rejoice that you were here. The Barrington Mountain Fishermen The Barrington Mountain fishermen They'd come up here every time they can Every holiday and long weekend How much they loved this mountain land First came here toddler on father's knee Deadly and dangerous saw it all first hand Years gone by still much to see Kept coming back to this mountain land They would come to share the spirit With wives and children of their own The call of the mountain they'd all hear it This land too, now also their home And when they passed from this life on Spoke of memories 'round the campfire ember Of mountain men like Saltbush Bill and Cousin Ron Thier lives and lessons I will always remember (8th July 2000) " I have seen without perceiving I have been another man Let me pierce the realm of glamour So I know just what I am"....Dweller on the Threshold, [This message has been edited by EagleOne (edited 01-29-2001).] |

I believe that your cousin will have read this already, somehow, somewhere, I'm sure he will be thanking you for it. As for me, I think that this poem is the most timeless and the MOST precious gift. Very subtle and strong. Love it. CD |

Mother Earth ~ The beautiful thoughts live on in our hearts. I always appreciate your thoughts, thank you! Kethry ~ if my work soars it is because it is lifted by the spirit of those of whom I write. Janet ~ The pleasure is mine my friend in knowing you have read my humble offerings. That song has significance to me just now and one of my favorites as well. Its hard to pick just one, though I have narrowed the list to less than 50 now.  CD ~ Welcome and thank you so much for adding your thoughts here. Take care! Charisma ~ Your hugs are appreciated as much as your kind words my friend, take care! Kathleen ~ I am humbled and honoured that you think so, I appreciate your comments greatly!
