4.7.10

Today is another picture from our visit to Lyra's grave at Easter. I know, more gravestone pics. But the last time I put one of the pictures up, an anonymous person posted a beautiful poem about the tiger we've left there to keep the space company/protected/etc. So the photo is mine, but the poem is by an anonymous poster. To whomever left that for me - thank you so much. You've put into words exactly how I feel and the comfort I get from having the tiger there with her.




tiger beside her
watching over her
ever vigil
constant care


tiger beside her
sun out, moon out
ever vigil
constant care


tiger beside her
ice, rain, hail, snow
ever vigil
constant care


tiger beside her
clouds high, stars bright
ever vigil
constant care


tiger beside her
safe and nestled
ever vigil
constant care


tiger beside her
soldier, angel
ever vigil
constant care


tiger beside her
peace assuring
ever vigil
constant care.

(vigil: to watch: a purposeful surveillance to guard or observe) 

for your lyra and in memory of my little lost one
