When death walks by with quiet tread,
To touch a loved one, who’s then led
Away from sleep, away from pain,
To wake in joy, to live again.

You’ll hear him on a whispered breeze,
A calling bird; in swaying trees.
Do not weep long, but lift your eyes,
You’ll see his glory in God’s skies.

He’ll be there in a swallow’s flight,
His eyes in stars on a velvet night.
His courage strong in every tree,
His name carved well, for eternity.

Hide not your love within your heart,
For he will always be a part
Of you, and everything you do…
For death is nought, when love is true.

I know this photo was taken last year and it is just a quick snapshot rather than one of my better photos. For me it just captures the mood for this thought on my theme.

I am not sure when I will get the chance to capture another photo with just the right mood because my Dad is about to undertake a course of chemotherapy which will last up to seven months or even more.

So I won’t apologise for the archive shot, but I will say that all the other photos will be taken especially for my theme.
