I Am There
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 salmon 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 city square
In the market place where the people meet
In your quiet room – I am there
I am the love you cannot see
And all I ask is – look for me.

Roger, Terry, Paul and Sonia, my condolences from your Auntie Viv and family. Chester was truly a quiet, gentle man. May he rest in peace.
Dear Roger and family may I say I was Touched after reading the messages above. Although I haven’t had the honour of meeting Mr Alleyne, I have had the honoured opportunity to get to know his Son Roger recently, as they say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Clearly Mr Alleyne was a man of great stature in his community and a loving father. I prey all your family have a peaceful day on Thursday full of beautiful memories.
Dear Sonia,
Our deepest sympathies for the loss of your dad. It is wonderful that you had the blessing to spend Christmas 2023 prior to his peaceful passing to rest in eternity. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
When Great Trees Fall
Maya Angelou
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
He was one of my many fathers. Never refused me into his house.
Our prayers and condolences are with Sonia, Roger, Paul, Terry and all the family. We are so sorry for your loss.
What an amazing person. I feel so lucky to have met uncle Chester as I called him. May he rest in eternal peace.
Dear Sonya and Family,
Please accept my deep condolences for your loss. I never had the honor of meeting him, but as these messages make clear, he was a deeply respected, honorable gentleman who will be greatly missed by those who loved him.
Sending our prayers and words of comfort to Sonia and your entire family, as you celebrate the life of your father and the awesome legacy he leaves behind in family, friends and much more.
May God comfort and strengthen you all.
I was privileged to have had the honour to call the late Arnold Chesterfield, Father-in-law. He was the most gracious Father-in-law ever, he was the only Grandfather to my children, and Great Grandfather to their Children. We will always love and respect him.
Though we are sad to see him go, we are grateful for the time we shared with this precious man. He left a lasting impact on all of us, with his warmth and calm demeanour. His memory will forever be cherished.
I have so many fond memories of Dad, but my fondest recent memory was when we were celebrating his 94th birthday, and I asked Dad how old he was? He said he was 49 years old. That is how sharp and humorous he was.
Rest in heavenly peace Dad
