“If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone,
Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must,
Parting is hell,
But life goes on,
So sing as well.”
Joyce Grenfell
“Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily diguised as Chaos.”
Joyce Grenfell
“Isn't it odd the way people get sad about happy times just because they are past. I go on enjoying them. Do you?”
Joyce Grenfell, An Invisible Friendship
“It felt like an ordinary morning
It began an ordinary way
And then, without warning
Ordinary morning Became and extraordinary day.

Hadn’t the slightest sort of inklin_
No-one said love was on its way_
And then within a twinkling
Without the smallest inkling
It became an extraordinary day.

For there you were
And the whole world stood still.
There you were,
I loved you then and I always will

At first, an ordinary morning,
Began in an ordinary way,
And then my heart was beating
At this ordinary meeting
And we both knew

This was not an ordinary day.”
Joyce Grenfell
