Look for me when the tide is high
And the gulls are wheeling overhead
When the autumn wind sweeps the cloudy sky
And one by one the leaves are shed
Look for me when the trees are bare
And the stars are bright in the frosty sky
When the morning mist hangs on the air
And shorter darker days pass by

I am there, where the river flows
And the tailor leap to a silver moon
Where the insects hum and the tall grass grows
And sunlight warms the afternoon
I am there in the busy street
I take your hand in the bustling square
In the market place where people meet
In your quiet room - I am there

I am the love you cannot see
And all I ask is - Look for me

Don't cry because Jim has gone

Smile because you knew him

Imagine a rose so special it had to be smuggled out of a country by an American consul

This is the PEACE ROSE

The peace rose was Jim’s favourite flower and it’s modern legend of courage and perseverance help summarize Jim’s character and outlook on life

And its romantic story is full of hope, perseverance and most of all providence amidst history’s bittersweet memories of human suffering and determination
