Seed Sower

[For Nicky]
You took each step with
The surety and certainty
Borne of a lifetime of good,
Kindness,
And doing things right.
You stood steady,
Strode strong,
And did not falter when your path was long,
Or plain wrong.
Each step counted,
Skipped,
Never plodded;
Sowing meadow seeds
And singing
As you went.
You walked on, and off
But in your wake,
Those flowers grow
And never a more wonderful
Seed sower
Shall we ever know.
