"You Were Blessed With Gifts"
By Mary Giovannetti
Written in memory of her cousin, Dr. Joseph Nearing

You were blessed with gifts
With healing hands
With sympathy of heart
With the love of your profession
You were blessed with gifts
With a brilliant mind
With the joy of learning
With the gift of sharing
You were blessed with gifts
With family, friends
With love around you
But
Life takes its turn
You fought with all your being
For one more month
For one more day
For one more hour
To grab one more glimpse
Of your beloved Cape Breton
One more glimpse
Of its rugged coast line
One more glimpse of its rich fall colours
One more glimpse of your childhood home.
Cape Breton beckoned you
To skip a rock on Schooner Pond Bay
To breathe its salty air
To chat with the locals who know you by name
But
Peace has come at last my dear
Your spirit is joy
Your spirit is love
Your spirit is peace
Rest my dear, rest in peace.


Condolences
