A frailty of quick sand
a deep gap in the immense land
away from clover green
secluded nature's earth
daily seen this dry dusty scene
we have been listening to most touching songs,
psalms, hymns and of magical singing
great person of simplicity
mind match of a genius
man from Mars not from Venus
from dust you are to dust you go
to the Lord's scenic spot
eternal life you will have, it had been said
you are still living amongst the dead.
Worthiest prayer ever heard
loftiest words oftentimes birthed
saddest meanings in every word.
One thing we may rejoice
like Abraham in the Holy Scripture
you left myriads of your own,
from your humble creature.
High Almighty God, most grateful to You,
that You cared for Pieter and led him all time through,
he died once, was resurrected again and now with You
he chooses to go to his beloved époussée
and asked for your permission
while waiting this transition,
all of a sudden he was knocking at your Door,
You received Him at once with greatest love and more....
May he rest in peace, husband, father and engineer,
Pieter van der Werff, the Dutch buccaneer !!

NOTE: Ir. P.v.der Werff is a good acquaintance, died few days ago all of a sudden, but still very healthy, sane and enjoying life at the fullest,
but he oft missed his late wife....
