25/04/1925 – 01/12/2019

The voice says, I am dead,
Yet I know this is not true,
For as I hold on, instead
There is a distant sob.

The door is clutching my hand
And I must leave to walk,
The well worn stairs
Where all must go.

I cannot see the bottom,
For it is endless,
Time beckons and I am not alone,
Before and after come with me.

Finality arrives to take my hand,
The living world was little after all,
One last long sigh
And all is done.

Taking my first step
Down into the peaceful
Night of nothing.

Dearly loved and missed by Graeme, Jennifer and Chelsea.
