This is Spike, the shop foreman. He keeps the place running smoothly and greets all the visitors. As you can tell from his expression in this picture, he is telling me to get back to work, or was that time for lunch?
Once in your life
If you are lucky
You might capture the spirit of an exceptional being
And hold on to it for an oh so brief time
The things you teach
The things you learn
The times you share
The devotion they bring is never matched
What they offer is never countered in kind
The light they bring is uplifting to all
You can look into their eyes and see their soul
Our gratitude to the essence of their life - even after it is gone
Their spirits still alive in our hearts.
Spike Keats - Resting in Peace. November 26, 2007.
