*”Our work as conservationists is never finished.” (Rachel Carson)
“I will be leaving
You very soon” words sadly,br> From my kind mentor *

Thomas my mentor*
Our dear friend has departed
With whom can we grieve?

Pigeons have freedom
Access to food unknown by

Energy is gift
Flowing forth in limitless
Acts of charity

“For us life is Christ”
To die is eternal gain”*
Never be afraid
