There is a quiet corner in my yard, where I walk\u00a0and it is here I come across the leaves with musical notes and men dancing, dancing with Joy\u00a0….<\/em><\/p>\n

…….<\/p>\n

there is no way to think of Nancy
\nin the past tense
\nshe was
\nshe will be …<\/p>\n

there just isn’t<\/p>\n

pictures posted by friends
\nstories told<\/p>\n

they are all still real
\nstill present
\nstill
\nhere<\/p>\n

she is
\nshe is
\nshe
\nIS<\/p>\n

that smile never fades
\ngood humour
\ngood times<\/p>\n

great heart<\/p>\n

it stays in our heart
\nin the present<\/p>\n

it doesn’t diminish
\nit doesn’t
\n‘pass away’
\nit never dies<\/p>\n

it’s not taken from us
\nit will not fade<\/p>\n

someone so vibrant
\nso loved<\/p>\n

when a picture is shared
\nit’s not sadness it invokes
\nit’s Happiness
\nit’s Memories<\/p>\n

it’s Great
\nmemories<\/p>\n

but they are all very much alive
\nand joyful
\nnot gone<\/p>\n

and this
\nis Nancy<\/p>\n

and this
\nwe hold<\/p>\n

and this , we hold<\/p>\n

with smiles,
\nand with tears, yes<\/p>\n

but what does it make you think of
\nwhen you see that smile<\/p>\n

of John, and Jack of course
\nof your friends, of yourself
\nof finding \u00a0and offering comfort
\nand support<\/p>\n

and
\nisn’t this Nancy ?<\/p>\n

isn’t she here, then<\/p>\n

and this
\nwe hold …<\/p>\n

She is here
\nof this, \u00a0 I am certain<\/p>\n

such a bright spark
\nof genuine goodness, love and laughter
\nwill never – not be here<\/p>\n

will stay as vibrant in those
\nthat\u00a0 knew\u00a0<\/del> know
\nand Love her<\/p>\n

just as always<\/p>\n

Always with a smile
\nalways with a way of making
\nYou\u00a0smile<\/p>\n

She is Joy
\nisn’t that it?
\nShe is Bold, Unapologetic
\nBoisterous, Unbounding
\nJoy<\/p>\n

She
\nis!<\/p>\n

yeah …
\nshe is,<\/p>\n
