The evening has come

I have closed the doors behind me

Through the eyelids

The eyes are no longer looking

This day has ended             

I sit here quietly waiting

Gently going back in my thoughts

For bygone dreams

And come to you

Who shared so much with me for endless times

When the times still held us together

 

 

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our father and grandfather
