Some Holy Age.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
They lived together for 111 years.
The guardian was told to hide
under a bushel but always be heard.
But his voice became shyed,
as the years went on.
And his light began to faulter,
his attention gone.
Having heard the old lady's daughter,
shrieking like a balloon deflating.
He watched her sit up joy emmiting,
she opened her eyes, her angel to see
"Shine Gods child." she whispered,
"Shine for me!"
