Be kinder than necessary,
For everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived

Kandor (Les Robinson) has asked on Face-book for someone to post his condolences for Beryl and her family Do me a favour please? will you write my condolences on the history websites for Beryl. I know that Les had a great respect for Beryl and admired her writing and poetry very much. Les Robinson I heard today that a person I admired so very much as a poetess and writer, my one time friend, one of the most determined ladies I've ever known, passed away on the 16th July.
Rest in peace Beryl, we had our differences but my admiration for you never once went away. Pom  |

Beryl and myself wrote this verse between us
It’s time for this spirit to leave
No time for you to sit and grieve
A soul too soft its pain to bear
Soon to leave this hemisphere
Is death not the open door - free of pain?
Through which we pass to life again
Keep in line with mine eye
And stay with me till dawn is nigh
We do have but a little while.
So let me see that lovely smile!
If only you could see how truly you
Breathe life into these lungs and my soul too!
I wonder what my final thought will be
What sight will be my eyes last see?
When life’s light turns to endless night
With your eyes no longer in my sight
And death’s calm soothes to end the storm
One last happy smile on my lips will form
For as the sun illumes the eastern skies
I’ll pass through Glory’s gate and walk in Paradise!

That's inspirational and Beryl's 'persona' shines through it |

That is quite a piece of work, talking of one's demise in such a knowing way, full of love and feeling.
