Here is an excerpt from his favorite book of poems...

DEATH IS A DOOR

Death is ONLY an old door 
Set in a garden wall; 
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk 
When the thrushes call.

Along the lintel are green leaves, 
Beyond the light lies still; 
Very willing and weary feet 
Go over that sill.

There is nothing to trouble any heart; 
Nothing to hurt at all. 
Death is only a quiet door 
In an old wall.

Nancy Byrd Turner
