Before The First Dawn Appears






Before the first hint of dawn appears let me not shed a tear For life is meant to be lived without doubt or fear.

I hear you. For sure, live life bravely and, if possible, die like Cyrano -- I know you have suffered some heartbreaking loses of dear loved one's recently -- it is never easy. For no one, no matter how enlightened. Myself, my only regret, as the sands are far fewer, and my chances lessening, sounds silly, but I was really hoping to see a genuine flying saucer up close, and little green men. Oh well, next trip maybe. If there are any out there, reading this. Send me Soup Mail.

Life certainly is a gift and something that we can all take for granted at times. There was something read out at a friend’s funeral - I can’t remember the exact words - but it was something like “sad that he died but glad that he lived” I recalled it reading your four lines here. I’m sorry to hear about your sister in law. Cheers - Gary
