A Tribute To Tom
A LOVING TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR BROTHER, TOM
(July 23 1940 to March 13 2007)
They took away your fragrant pipe that day
"Oh no, you can't have it", so they say
I visited you and whispered in your ear
"Just wake up and I'll bring your cigar here."
You struggled to speak and tell us more
A tear by the corner of your eyes I saw
Oh Koh-Koh, you're tired and needed a rest
And yes, we know, God only takes the best.

Dear Kak,

Tom will live on in all of you.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain
When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft, starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
My condolences

doc,
thank you for your kind words.
the pain is there but i chose to rejoice that Tom is in a better place now and take comfort that he is watching over us.
and yes, the ability to sleep through 8 solid hours, is a gift. :)

"What though the radiance which was once so bright,
Be now forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass,
We will grieve not,
Rather find strength in what remains behind".
Yours sincerely, Uncle Lee.
