All Saints’ Day, 1st November

As we leave the Halloween celebrations behind for yet another year, we see the 1^st November arrive….and as I remember my dear father’s passing on this day, back in 1996, and my beloved cousin, Imran’s birthday (born on the very same day in 1983), I am, once again, in complete awe of how we’re all connected by something quite miraculously divine……..

The poem below is a dedication to both these very special people, and brings together both the magic and miracle of all things wonderful in life – happy birthday to you, Imran! …….and continue to rest in peace, my darling Abba………..

“You Never Will Be Old”

You never will be old

with a twinkle in your eye,

with the springtime in your heart

as you watch the winter fly. 

You never will be old

while you have a smile to share,

while you wonder at mankind

and you have the time to care.

 While there’s magic in your world

and a special dream to hold,

while you still can laugh at life,

you never will be old.
