Sv: En sekund, en bil. RIP Aiko 2010-2014
När vi avlivade vår gamling visade en vän mig den här dikten, och den hjälpte mig i mitt sorgearbete. Kanske kan den göra samma för dig.
So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you’ll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you’ll surely find.
We will go on, we’ll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren’t you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you’ve taught.
Your place we’ll hold, you will be missed,
the fur we stroke, the nose we kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this… We loved you best.
