Just 'Round The Bend

Early yesterday morning, Samuel Doughty passed away. His nephew Rick has penned this poem for Sam's sons:

Just 'round the bend

There's a river in which we all swim
It's the same for her as it is for him

At first we struggle, day and night
Learning which currents to go with and which to fight

As we make the long journey we come to know
How to accept and excel in the turbulent flow

And when loved ones drift from our sight
Gently floating into the light

We take comfort in knowing we will see them again
Waiting for us in the calm waters... just 'round the bend

Sam Doughty R.I.P.
