Together
A top of the tide and
An offshore breeze
A sprig of rosemary
Left behind
With nothing else to
Mark the spot where
They were laid to rest
Entwined and side by side

Lovely, happy sad poem Neville. I LOVE Cornwall my friend what a place to rest them both.
Bless you Saxon Crow my fine literary friend... Tis indeed one o them happy sad posts... My folks used to have a house overlooking the sea at Widemouth Bay near Bude Cornwall and it was their wish to have their ashes scattered together there....

Without a traditional gravestone or plaque it is fitting to have words which mark an occasion such as you describe. Nobody can instill more feeling or meaning into the chosen words than those who feel the loss most.
Here i read such words which contain ample depth of meaning for this occasion.
Short and powerful.
Many thanks D A my friend.. it still grieves me that there is no marker whatsoever to indicate that either of my beloved parents were ever here at all...
Neville
Such a sad challenge this write Nev. An important and emotional place for you now and ever will be for memories of happy times there will mark the spot and remain in the family's heart. May they both side by side rest in peace .
thanking you for your insight, understanding and ongoing support Fay...
