This day we place your ashes
Into Nature's sacred care
To become part of the Universe
Fire, water earth and air
May these remnants find their place
Upon Creation's breast
With all our love we leave you there
For there you will find rest
When we see the stars at night
We'll say a little prayer
You told us and we know it's true
You're waiting for us there.
One day we'll be together
Our arms entwine again
The life we knew, the love we shared
Forever to remain.
H.W.G. 14.06.1973

Aged 27 when he died

Author Notes
These are the words I composed for the occasion of committing my son's earthly remains (his ashes) to Nature. We found a place along the River Murray where my husband and he used to camp. My elder son took the container out into mid stream and emptied it into the river. I stood on the bank and wept into my daughter-in-law's shoulder. The words were never spoken (out loud) although copies of them were given to members of the extended family. Rest in Peace beloved son. We'll meet again one day.
