There in its museum, shines an inscription which reads, 'The thought that Jock died for his country is of no comfort to me, his memory is all I have left to Love. John Low's fiancee, 10th Jan 1918. Such sadness, such waste inspired this poem.

Enough said

Enough said...

Nearly ten years since you were called away, yet still I recall as yesterday your touch, Your smile, your sense of fun and joy with life. I remember you playing your guitar, singing along. You cooking a gourmet meal with great a-plume. Sharin
