In Loving Memory

This is the poem that Brian read at his father's funeral a couple of weeks ago. It was very moving to see such a strong powerful man read something so beautiful in honor of his loving and caring father.

{I live my life in widening rings}

by Rainer Maria Rilke

I live my life in widening rings

which spread over earth and sky.

I may not ever complete the last one,

but that is what i will try.

I circle around God, the primordial tower, and I

circle ten thousand years long:

and I still don't know if I am a falcon, a storm

or an unfinished song.
