We step out into the world with great
trust and hope
and begin
No idea of what, where, or how
What extraordinary faith we have
Our paths may differ
some straight
some twisted
some with unexpected gifts and
surprises
some
not
and then,
when our time comes
our paths blend
the
ending known
We know the what,
just not the when , how, where or why
That too is a step of faith
Mum (11/9/1921-
19/9/2015)
Feet planted firmly on earth
Intention focussed and sure
The warrior
defender
of family and home
loyal
to the core
no sacrifice too great
steadfast
in love
We are One
From the depths of the earth
to
the highest heavens
and the farthest reaches of the
Universe
We are
one
May your journey be full of light
laughter
and
love.
(and
a little eccentricity....)
Goodbye mum

ADDENDUM. As I was travelling home after mum's cremation and wake there was a beautiful full unbroken rainbow curving across the bay and over her home ending further south. Others who attended the day noticed it as well. Recently I have been reminded of that beautiful version of, and farewell, 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_DKWlrA24k&feature=youtu.be. Enjoy.
