Farewell

Old church bells will not sing today They will weep Sad iron tears That strain The tenor of their voice. John G. Lawless ©10/10/2022

That "sad iron years" is simply great, not only for this occasion, also for the many losses in the past. Thank you. Elizabeth

This sums up everyone's feeling (except the 'beyond woke') just so, John. Let us weep too with the church bells.
