"Death is A Door" for #doorsday

"Death is only an old door
Set in a garden wall
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk
When the thrushes call
Along the lintel are green leaves
Beyond the light lies still;
Very willing and weary feet
Go over that sill
There is nothing to trouble any heart;
Nothing to hurt at all.
Death is only a quiet door.
In an old wall."
- Nancy Byrd Turner (1880-1971)

Cemeteries are incredible testaments to how much people love one another. Every brick laid, every statue carved, every flower left, is an act of love for someone who has slipped away into the next room.
Hugs and warm wishes to you all. ♥️🫂✨
