The author, Renee Torti has written many varations of this poem, to fit the situation or person. The first was version was wriiten for a friend. The author was in her early twenties at the time.

As far as I know, she last lived in the Dallas area. I first read the poem in a small rogue Dallas magazine in the 80s. It was said, that she attended and was active in poem readings in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas. That’s where I picked up the magazine. I kept the clipping from the magazine for many years. I have since lost the clipping from moves during the years. The information I haven given here is from an old email to a family member of mine. Hope this helps!

It is a beautiful poem and would like to translate in Italian. Has it ever been published in different languages?

I found this poem in the registrar’s office when I went to register my father’s death today – it is so beautiful and I have chosen it for his funeral but feel so sad that I cannot credit the writer.

My mum sadly passed away on December 20th and this was read at her funeral. It just was so perfect for how she passed away and how we feel. I miss her terribly.

Many of those attending commented on how fitting and lovely the poem was.

In my opinion, I’d say record it.

I’ve looked high and low to find the author and have had absolutely no luck. If this poem isn’t credited to anyone, I can’t see where the harm would be in recording it.

If you do record it, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks.

This poem was giving to me by my sister when my father pass away. I thought it was so beautiful that I decided to make a song out of it. I put music to it and would like to record it . Since there is no author to be found, WOULD I HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO RECORD THE POEM . Please give me a reply.

This is gorgeous. I have spent ages trying to find a more fitting poem to read at my great-grandmother’s funeral, which is taking place on monday. I can’t find a better one. It’s perfect. I wish I knew who the author was.
