After the death of his father, Terry wrote a poem titled "Blessed Parting", and it was printed on a bookmark, given at the funeral. A few months later Terry found these words entering his mind, and he put to pen and paper to save them for the appropriate time. Now is that time, as we share it with you...In memory of the one we love.
Blessed Parting was dedicated to Terry's father,
Keith Auger Hebdon
17 December 1921 - 5 July 2011.
Blessed Parting II is dedicated to his mother,
Idris Egbert Hebdon
7 January 1921 - 17 January 2012.
Blessed Parting II
The linger longer method
Is also a plan divine.
It’s how grandma proved to all of us
That she would never whine.
Perhaps you can remember
When grandpa passed away;
It was grandma who lead the music
For the closing song that day.
Some would say she’s stoic.
Others would say she’s strong.
Even others would mention giving.
None of them would be wrong.
When you think of departed Grandma
Think of bread or a popcorn ball
And you will certainly realize
That she isn’t dead at all.
But she continues living
Just not in this particular place.
She’s with Keith and the other loved ones
Who have ascended to greater Grace.
