(Memoriam)
MITCHELL, Margaret June 25, 2005 Ken found this in Margaret's handwriting
after she died. So when you walk the woods where once we walked together,
And scan in vain the dappled bank beside you for my shadow, Or pause where
we always did upon the hill to gaze across the land, And spotting something,
reach by habit for my hand, And finding none, feel sorrow start to steal
upon you, Be still. Close your eyes. Breathe. Listen for my footfall in your
heart. I am not gone but merely walk with you. Margaret, your family miss
you so much. 262106
