Thank you to Aidan's Grandad for reciting the Spanish poem, entitled  "Despedida" which means Farewell.  Although seemingly sombre in its focus, the poem highlights  the joy to be found in engaging with life and enjoying the simple things around us.  An important message for us all.

"Despedida" by Federico García Lorca

Farewell

If I die,
leave the balcony open.

The little boy is eating oranges.
(From my balcony I can see him.)

The reaper is harvesting the wheat.
(From my balcony I can hear him.)

If I die,
leave the balcony open!
