Eulogy for the Ashes

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
Tis God that puts the rarest stars in your eyes
And makes such whispers of thought that i have to cry
For he sees the pain upon my face
As the ashes fall to their rightful place
And the songbirds of heaven call out with grace
That you will be remembered whatever the case
