Gerard's Last Post. As always, with truth and feeling...


When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free

Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings

    1. Yes it is. Still a few good ones left but Gerard just kind of set himself apart.

  5. Never met him, but appreciated his musings. We all have to pass through the curtain, his words above are a good picture to hold onto for the transition. RIP and condolences to his family.
