Description
The end of a glorious sunset on October 4th 2009 west of Tucson, Arizona. Like the saguaro cactus silhouetted here against the last brilliant color of a desert sunset, now lost to all but memory, all things must pass...
Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always gonna be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always gonna be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the night time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always gonna be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Lyrics by George Harrison, 1970
Soon after I posted this tribute, I have learned that the man to whom this is dedicated lived to know that his only daughter was named to be honored with an Order of Australia Award. Not many people can leave such a proud legacy.
