More lines from a thank you note...
Thanks also for the sounds of children
singing in laughter some where unseen.
For an injured neighbor able to listen
and two silent cats tentative and still.
Thanks for soft sunlight
and memory of rain
for memory of mother alone in her yard.
Thanks for a beloved brown shawl
sometimes around my shoulder in deepest night.
Thanks for radiant musicians.
for those who dance the night away.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the not so empty box left behind by dad
and lost until today for sister's uniform neatly folded there
thanks also for his worn leather harnesses
and for one saddle empty since his departure
for all his photographs bound in books
thanks for Paul McCartney singing Hey Jude
for Hyde Park's thousands of waving singers
thanks for dad driving us to coldwater while we sing
'mr froggy went a courting'
Many thanks

And thanks for thin crusted pizza shared with a beautiful lady
thanks for the quietness of this afternoon
thanks that today's news makes me weep
for the sound of sisters voice calling from the coast
for memory of these trees before they became so tall
thanks for the Andre Rieu choir and George Harrison singing my sweet lord
for unrestrained anticipations for dreamless sleep
Many thanks
