Re: Where's Rocket??

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there; I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the diamond glints on snow,
    I am the sun on ripened grain,
    I am the gentle autumn rain.
    When you awaken in the morning’s hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circling flight.
    I am the soft star-shine at night.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry,
    I am not there; I did not die.

    By Mary Elizabeth Frye, 1932

Re: Where's Rocket??

Let's not forget that just because the funeral is over, the grieving doesn't end. Rocket still needs (and is most deserving of) our love and support!

Beautiful song and evocative lyrics Rocket. I was thinking of you today and pray you're finding peace and a place to reach equilibrium.

Re: Where's Rocket??

I was briefly at Brighton in England for Joe Bonamassa & The Band  opening it up moments ago, thanks to Michael!  Distortion made for an interesting take on the buildup music to......that Slow Train rumbling from afar...

So many roads...so many trains to ride...

Thanks for bringing this song to everyone's attention.  David Lindley's slide playing reminiscent of Duane Allman and I know Gregg covered this tune.  Hard to believe JB wrote this as a teenager.  Fantastic song.

Re: Where's Rocket??

Rocket, I haven't been round these parts recently and have just read this post trail.
I am so sorry to hear of what happened.
I just can't think of what you and yours have gone through.

Thankyou for sharing your day.

Good having you back in the UK for a short while, albiet via a phone line.

(((Rocket))).

Spider, I was humming this when you just texted me about hate in the world...had planned on posting this today (that's why I was humming it, too).

Derek had a lotta love, he was appalled at the lack of it

Gotta Lotta Love,
Rocket

Re: Where's Rocket??

Dearest Rocket,  I haven't been around the forum as much as I would like but when I heard about Derek,  it just made my heart hurt.  I have been thinking about you and I know that only time will begin to make things a little easier.  When I saw this thread, I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts daily. 
Take care my friend.  See you down the road. 

Huge hugs,

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Rocket}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Actually I heard you saying hello dear, and, was quite curious why there was something funny about the "English" accent...
I said hello to someone although I was sure whomever could not hear me.  By the way Sandy, thank -you for the card I received in the mail.

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket
