Empty-handed I entered the world
Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going
Two simple happenings that got entangled.
Like dew drops on a lotus leaf I vanish.Derral's Funeral service will be held at Rosewood, 415 Queen Street, Masterton on Friday, January 4, at 2.00 p.m., followed by private cremation.
Farewell - I pass as all things do -- Dew on the grass.
