For the loss of another friend. I bow my Head I bow my head and count the dead My shawl is less another thread The wind cuts through its tender frame The fire banks another flame I used to roar and shake my fist But time has turned another twist And though I can’t accept the change It is a product of this grange I feel the eddy’s touch of near I feel the steady wear and tear Each breath is full of echoes goal Each death rains down upon my soul My skin is thin my bones are weak And drips roll down my nose in leak My thoughts seek refuge from my mind My hearings hard, my eyes go blind I bow my head and count the dead For soon will go another thread |

Not even understanding helps. Only time can soften this. I wish you well. |

I must say that as time passes our shawls do indeed become a little threadbare, and tend to warm us less. I am so sorry for the loss of a friend Sy. |
