IN MEMORIAM
Friends are so unique, so very hard to find.
Friends will not critique; they are one of kind.
To lose a friend to death empties out your heart.
You know with their last breath, your souls will never part.
Dear Russ,
It's been a year since you left and a piece of my heart left with you that day.
I miss your laugh, your wittiness, your sarcasm, your kind-heartedness.
I still get sad and I still laugh at all the bitter sweet memories we shared.
I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life. Thank you.
Rest in peace. I will miss you always.
Cheers!
Daisy Maisy

LITERARY CORNER
The way a crow
Those Winter Sundays
Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.
I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,
Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love’s austere and lonely offices?
--Robert Hayden
Dust of Snow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
--Robert Frost
I see a homeless woman, clutching her trash bag of blankets and clothes, her face burned red by the icy, stinging wind
And I think of Bradford's words: "There, but for the grace of God, go I."
