Raffaelina Lowcock: When I told Bob's (Mastery's) wife about the book we are compiling 'Memories of Mastery" she was blown away. She turned from the phone to tell some of the children in a very excited voice. Perhaps you don't realize how easy it is to write your tribute. Go to my portfolio and find "Memories of Mastery" click on "Add a Chapter" and voila you write your tribute. Please! Ralf |

Raffaelina Lowcock: My Nightly Prayr I bring Thee now, O Lord The parcel of a completed day. For I have wrapped it in my thoughts Tied it with my acts And stored it with the purposes for which I live. As the evening falls And while I seek Thy face in prayer Grant unto me the joy of good friends The curative power of new interests The peace of a quiet heart. Bestow upon me Eternal Spirit Light when darkness comes Light not of the sun but of the soul Not for the eyes, but for the mind Light by which to judge The errors and the wisdom of a day?s work Light for the path the soul must find In the tangled ways of the coming days And grant Thou again The healing touch of sleep. Amen Author Unknown |

Raffaelina Lowcock: Presenting my poetry is really giving away pieces of my mind as it evolved throughout my life. Many of my poems were written 60 years ago (so I've dated myself) and reflect sometimes my youthful frustrations or discoveries.. I really enjoy the inspiration when it comes to mind; it reminds me how blessed I am to still have a working mind |
