After A While, Footsteps Sounded On The Flagstones Outside And There Was A Gentle Tap At The Door. Of Course, One Of Them Would Come. So Close Were We, The Seven Of Us, That No Childhood Injury Went Unnoticed, No Slight, Real Or Imagined, Went Unaddressed, No Hurt Was Endured Without Comfort.

If A Man Has To Say Trust Me, Gogu Conveyed, It's A Sure Sign You Cannot. Trust Him, That Is. Trust Is A Thing You Know Without Words.

Stronger Than Iron Crueler Than Death Sweeter Than Springtime It Lives Beyond Breath

Trust Can Be A Hard Lesson; Hope Still More Difficult.

Death, Of Course, Should Not Be Feared, But Awaited With Certain Wonder. To Die Was To Step Across A Threshold Into A New World, Unknown, Unimaginable.
