GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN R.I.P.
this in not mine but found in an old envelope circa 1936 I would like to share it with you I hope you like
 
John I would very much like to read this poem - perhaps because it was written on blue paper I found it difficult to read -

Could you please type it - I am sure it must be a sweet gentle poem
 
Ive edited the poem picture hopefully it can be read a little easier hope you dont mind John
 
cheers Rod as I had no problems reading myself so I thought it was OK
is it OK now Beryl
 
Beryl,

I found John's poem photos quite easy to read. Are you clicking the image once it opens to make it bigger?

Although I didn't have to use it in this instance, I also have a Zoom add-on to my Firefox browser, which enables me to increase the size of web images by up to 400%.
 
Thanks Rod - perfect now John

A sweet gentle poem it is for a 21sr Birthday -

The person who wrote it must have been the very dearest of friends to express so much feeling
