Always Here............

Come rest your weary bones
And gaze out across the sea
This place was my paradise
And meant the world to me
Share your words and thoughts
And paint your memory
Relax in the timbers
Designed by my family
My spirit lays within the breeze
Under the shade of the casuarina trees
And in their thoughts I still surround
Their hopes and dreams that still abound
Forever together with thoughts in mind
Come rest your weary bones
And I’ll share with you kind .........

Hi, Nuwahri61,
Thank you for sharing Always Here............ in which the memorial seat beckons one to
Come rest your weary bones
And gaze out across the sea

What a kind spirit, indeed! Thank you, too, for introducing Australia’s native casuarinas.

What a wonderful tribute to their family member - both the memorial seat and your poem. I hope you share your poem with the family. I'm sure it would mean a lot to them.
