Saying Goodbye

Maybe it is a time in your life when you seem to be saying that long Goodbye so many times.
Today another Goodbye as I learnt another old friend who lived a wonderful life had left us.
I did feel sad but also glad I had known him for over a quarter of a century.Kendrick was a huge inspiration to my son and to many other young musicians.
I tend to plant trees when I am happy but also when I am sad so another tree will go in this week,a Norwegian Maple which eventually will soar high in these hills.
These words suit
I gave a share of my soul to the world, when and where my course is run.
I know that another shall finish the task I surely must leave undone.
I know that no flower, nor flint was in vain on the path I trod.
As one looks on a face through a window, through life I have looked on God,
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
Amelia Burr, American poet (1878 – 1968)
