In Memory of Bobby - Beloved of Faithy

[FaithyMD]

Bobby passed on April 14th 2015 - and today I placed a stone for him in Albert's Garden. I also read a poem I chose for him on cam today. Here is a copy of the Poem and a pic of the stone Pivli got for me off the cam.

I Know Not How to Say Farewell

My heart has rooms that sigh with dust
And ashes in the hearth.
They must be cleaned and blown away
By daylight's breath.
But I cannot essay the task,
For even dust to me is dear;
For dust and ashes still recall,
My love was here.

I know not how to say Farewell,
When Farewell is the word
That stays alone for me to say
Or will be heard.
But I cannot speak out that word
Or ever let my loved one go:
How can I bear it that these rooms
Are empty so?

I sit among the dust and hope
That dust will cover me.
I stir the ashes in the hearth,
Though cold they be.
I cannot bear to close the door,
To seal my loneliness away
While dust and ashes yet remain
Of my love's day.
-- Stephen R. Donaldson
