Today I have lost two friends and brother Cursiestas. In receiving the information about the passing of Stephan Abresch I stumbled on this memorial site for his dad, St. Peter, as I referred to him.
Peter you've been gone since August and I didn't even know it. I wondered why the poems had stopped and now I know! Double whammy to my heart. You last post that I received April 26, 2021:
"Anchor Watch"
I stand alone on deck,
the universe my ceiling,
while in the deepening of night
house lights wink out ashore
until only God and I remain,
our shipmates' safety in our hands.
But all time is God's watch,
all the world His shipmates,
He is the masthead light,
Guardian of the night,
and when my watch is over,
my hope against the rocky shore.
Peter E. Abresch
October, 2004
Good night St Peter! Your words will be part of my life songs. God love you!
