about

It’s summer. Maybe many nursing homes are grim, full of people facing the end, but not this one. Four generations of her family are here all together. Some of them always are, not through some deep seated sense of duty, but because it’s the singularity of love in their world, a place it’s a pleasure to be. Any occasion is at least partially celebrated here - today has been one of the great grandchildren’s christening, and post-church there was no question as to where everyone would go. And the happiness is not confined to this family. As the toddler cousins race around chair legs chasing each other, as the dads and granddads discuss golf and chortle over their similarities and differences, as mums and grandmas exchange notes on careers, the intangible rightness of it all expands over the whole common room to envelop everyone, a gas bomb of all that’s right and good billowing out. And all she (and her sadly missed, wonderful husband) had to do to create all this was love with all her heart.

lyrics

This is peace
Generations melting into one
It’s just me
But division never seemed much fun
So come close
Let me whisper secrets of good days
Legacies of a life lived well

There’s always different points of view
And deeply held beliefs
Seek out what makes us all the same
Not what pulls us in two
What’s a man to do?

Welcome peace
Generations melting into one
It’s just me
But division never seemed much fun
So come close
Let me whisper secrets of good days
Legacies of a life lived well

How you’d like to organise the world
Is less important than your heart
It doesn’t matter what you thought
It only matters what you did

Beckon peace
Generations melting into one

Throw wide the shades, let in the sun
The legacy of love is love
