The Three of Them
By Melda McElroy
Harold, Ebony and Myrtle out/for walks
we'll miss. Ebony carefully avoiding bumps
and cracks in sidewalks, making for her
Master strolls secure and free from fear.
Myrtle following close behind making
doubly sure.
We will miss the Three of them.
Harold, Ebony and Myrtle walking into
church we'll miss. Myrtle going to the choir.
Harold and Ebony taking places at the back
to worship each his God. Ebony escorting
Harold out and down the steps allowing time
for acknowledgement of greetings from
their many friends.
We will miss the Three of them.
Harold, Ebony and Myrtle in their happy
home surroundings
home we will miss. Visits at
the Vodden's were always something ,
special. Harold with his sense of humour
telling jokes, recalling incidents with that
knowing smile of his, while entertaining
drop-in friends. Myrtle always bright and
busy serving tea and what there was on
hand. Ebony relaxed on floor near table lap-
ping up all compliments extended. Friends
left the Vodden home with spirits lifted up.
We will miss the Three of them.
Each of this team of Three had duties with
meaningful objectives to perform. 'Harold
caning chairs, his work in great demand.
Myrtle keeping house and records. Ebony
conscious of her Master's every need, doing
well what was required.
This team of three exists no more. Harold
will be missed by Myrtle, Ebony. -and us all.
Love, Patience and Courage helped to
dissipate Harold's adversities as did his
precious sense of humour. It acted as a
cushion giving comfort not only for himself
but for the hundreds of • others that had the
good fortune to know and talk with him.
We will miss this One.
