Memorium for Garth and Mary
For Garth, age 17 passed from this earth March 26, 1999.
Sweet scent of babies breath
a hint of summers breeze
Reminds her of your life and death
with no sign of ease
Forget her not, thou favored son
where ere you may be
Her heart is now an empty berth
a place of homeless bees.
She fed you honey from her breast
and you grew strong and free
What mercy is there in such death
That fell the greenest tree.
Wait for her, in love dear Garth
As she counts the days for you
Only your face will heal the heart
or dry those eyes so blue.

Thank you Leysa. Although wordsmithing still doesn't quite capture the loss. Garth once had a picture on the cover of a fishing journal wearing hip waders while casting for river trout. He was the red headed boy Norman Rockwell painted and a force of nature whose promise was manifest yet denied to the world.
