A Brief History! IP

 

Professor Stephen Hawking,

Who refused to stop working

Gave us the Big bang Theory.

Although it made him weary.

 

To those in desperation,

He was an inspiration.

He explained the Universe,

Though his illness was a curse.

 

With an incredible mind,

He refused to be defined,

By Motor Neurone Disease,

Though losing strength by degrees.

 

His work done he slipped away,

Not for him another day.

Always going one more mile,

Made his life so worthwhile.

 

He knew he had done his best,

Now it’s time for him to rest.

Go gently into the night,

You have shown us to the light.

I was glad to see he's going to be buried in Westminster Abbey, alongside Newton, Darwin etc.  Quite right too.

Hello Airy,

I couldn't agree more.  A true hero.

I thought you said you didn't do poetry? This is lovely epitaph

Hello Di,

Sorry I haven't replied before but thank you for calling this piece poetry.   I know I am no poet.  I can't get to grips with metre.  I never know what metre a poem is written in.  As for metaphors...they are quite beyond me.  Though I do sometimes get to grips with similes.
