For Alison

Alison, a saint? No, not quite,
But a woman in whom to delight
Strong and loud to lead her bright clan
True and straight in her Lord's plan

Beside every husband there stands a strong wife
The bringer of life or harbinger of strife
But Al has weathered so many storms
Keeping faith high and her love warm

Peter the strong, and Peter the brave
Peter who could o'ercome any enclave
Pete, your legacy stands in the children who are here
In the wife who with strength smiles in her tears

For God has brought this time to an end
And it's God who gives, and it is God who will send
Seed that is sown to the ends of the earth
Bringing new life, ushering in the new birth.

<For Alison George: on the start of a new season of life. Peter is gone. God has won. >
