jsharr ★ Posted January 10 Share #2 Posted January 10 Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Sorry to hear about all the loss that has been coming your way recently. Death happens, but man is it hard to comfortably accept it when it does. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead ★ Posted January 11 Share #9 Posted January 11 I bet his presentation was full of grace, reflection and purpose. What a brave man. Although tough, I suspect it was valuable to hear. I admire your work and you 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
