One more poem!!! This one was written by comedian Spike Milligan, and performed at Linda McCartney's memorial service last Monday in London. I love it because it captures an incredibly beautiful moment in time that will never come again. The passing of time, and memories of special moments, are what people think about around death or big life changes. This poem is just as appropriate for Linda's funeral is it is for the way I felt when my daughter graduated from eighth grade, and I saw her childhood self, and the childhood selves of all her classmates, somehow suspended in time floating above our neighborhood, gone from reality forever, but still existing. Unfortunately, the title of the poem was not in the newspaper: It was heaven. You were seven and I was eight. And we watched the stars suspended. Walking home down an apple lane Me and Rosie, a doll, a daisy chain On an evening that would never come again. Spike Milligan
