The Watcherby Margaret Widdemer (1884-1978)
She always leaned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget!
And so I think that where she is
She must be watching yet.
Waiting till we come home to her,
Anxious if we are late,
Watching from Heaven’s window,
Leaning on Heaven’s gate.

I think about:
All the years that have passed,
All the days that have gone by,
All the water that has flowed under the bridge,
All the breezes that moved through trees,
All the beautiful memories you have given,
All the warmth in your heart that you shared and has touched out lives,
All it took was the flash of a lifes journey for you to have done
All the wonderful things for everyone you met. You will be missed
My condolences to all the Douglas family –

I met Shirley about 10 years ago at a function at the Aurora Seniors Centre, I then joined the Evergreen Choir and discovered Shirley and Dick were members. They were both fun to know, and I was very sad when Dick died, but I am happy that Shirley, at last, will join him. They will sing and have fun together.
