For those who cant make the funeral,
I have posted an Ode below written by Clive,
the words sum up life and the desert,
as you all are aware Phil spent some
time in the middle east.
AN ODE TO PHIL
The wadi flourished with storm rains
Animals fed to relieve their pains
Suns rays heating, shrubs abound
Wadi changes, revives, new ground
Cycle continues throughout the seasons
Life expires, re-born, Gods reasons
Who can fathom this mystery of life
Desert dwelling, harsh with strife
The urge to move, another wadi
God guides our travels, instructs the body
As terrain is changing with the wind
We move, desert tracks rescind
As in life itself, we experience and find
But lessons learned escape our minds
An original ode by Clive Laudham
- Orqod fi salaam - Phil
RIP Phil I shall miss you- Margo!
