Thoughts
Linda, I found the following poem by an unknown author that I thought was very fitting to John's circumstances. I hope that you will find some comfort in it.
God's Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the Earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful for
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Be well on Earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And hills were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Captain, make that Admiral, Clark has begun his longest journey into deep dark space. I will miss him, but I am a better person for having known him. He was a great influence on those around him and I am thankful to have been his friend.
