Higgin -- Reginald Paul In Memory of Reginald Paul Higgin Last Night I dreamt I saw you, in a beautiful balloon. You were laughing with the wind, and dancing with the moon. Your body wasn't ravaged, your smile lit up the sky. I just knew the time had come... To kiss you... BLESS YOU...AND, LET YOU FLY. I ONCE CALLED YOU COURAGEOUS, BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. THIS PAIN THAT YOU WERE BEARING, WASN'T IT YOUR PLAN. NO ONE HAD THE ANSWERS, NO ONE WAS PREPARED. WHEN THAT AWFUL GUEST CAME CALLING US, WE WERE ONLY SCARED. MANY NIGHTS WHEN I CAN'T SLEEP, I THINK ABOUT YOU. AND ALL THE TIME WE'VE SHARED, SEEING THIS JOURNEY THROUGH. I CANNOT SEEM TO FATHOM, THIS WORLD WITH YOU. AND OFTEN I WONDER,"WHO'S BEEN HELPING YOU?" SO I KISS YOU, BLESS YOU AND I LOVE YOU. AND SOMEHOW, SOMEHOW I MUST LET YOU FLY. TO THE LAND, TO THE LAND OF NO MORE SORROW. SO YOU CAN FLY, FLY ON. FROM HIS FAMILY (WORDS BY ANNE MILLIGAN)
