Compassion, Spring 2023

Spring 2023 - Compassion | tcf.org.uk 18 Memory Corner From Sheila and Derek Phillips Remembering our beloved son, Duncan Our beloved son, Duncan Andrew Phillips, died suddenly on 25 April 2013, aged 39. We remember him with never ending love and thanks for his wonderful life. Sheila and Derek Phillips Can I hold your hand? It’s such a long time since I held your hand Where is the fairy to wave her wand To turn back the clock, to alter fate’s path And restore the life you had. You had so much to do with energy and zest People to love and boundaries to test All brought to an end in a passing second From the warmest of life to cold death. A decade, and counting, the clock doesn’t stop The sound of your silence chimes without hope Of the warmth of your breath and touch And holding your hand.
