You Were Always There For Me

I'm featuring here a moving poem written by my daughter, Sarah Jane Kennedy, in tribute to her grandfather, my Dad, Bill Murdy.  Please show her some love in the comments' section!

You were always there for me

A hand for me to hold

Without words you guided me

And let my truth unfold

You never tried to preach your views

Or push them onto me

I saw the world through my own eyes

You taught without decree

Through nature you and I explored

Walking side by side

You helped me to accept the fact

The moon controls the tide

That every single living thing

Human, insect, tree

Has a purpose here on Earth

Yet's happy just to be

Learning of the world outside

Provided peace within

All the leaves shall fall from grace

And yet are free from sin

Everything that comes will go

But everything that dies regrows

~Sarah Jane Kennedy
