Day of Memory

The tide recedes but leaves behind

Bright seashells in the sand

The sun goes down but gentle warmth

Still lingers on the land

The music stops and yet lingers on

In sweet refrain.

For every joy that passes

Something beautiful remains.

Something Beautiful Remains

by Martha Vashti Pearson

So, my dearest boy

On this 26th day of memory

life has changed because of Covid19

but your family and friends continue to

carry you closely in hearts full of memory.

You were the best big brother a brother could have!

I reckon you were the best best friend a friend could have

and we are so grateful to them for all the stories

they passed on!

Stories of mischief

Stories of kindness and consideration

Adventures shared.

They all helped enrich our memories.

All my boys have always been

the sunshine in my life.

So proud of you all

God bless.

Growing Up Behind the Garage!

She was a great mother

though Handy Hubby reckons

that is the father.

All of a sudden it seemed

all four heads were covered in feathers....

.....One teetered on the edge.....

....and flew into the undergrowth by the stream.

Within four days the nest was empty.

And now we can't tell who is who among all the robins

bobbing about the garden.

In a flash

all grown up.

Makes me wonder how these two munchkins

are getting on.

We had the privilege of having them cross our path

way back in 2016.
