These are the inspired spontaneous writing of N, upon hearing of Pop's death...using actual phrases from his last letter (March 25, 1978) to us. One week later April 1, he died. Remember? He was deaf-blind, loved nature, and his gardens. The following was written in his memory, three days later by one he loved, and I shall call her N:
"In the spring
You called him home
Crocus bloom
Buds are springing
He spaded and planted,
Daffodils and tulips still growing
In the spring
You called him home
New birth for us all,
Wild animals and birds
Pear tree much alive,
Thanks again
In the spring
You called him home
Blind and Deaf
He sees and hears
Crocus Blooming
Buds are springing
In the spring
Of the Risen Christ
You called him home..."
