A Celebration of Adam's Life in words, music and prayer was held on Saturday 11th April 2015
at St. Mary's Church, Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, UK.

On a beautiful spring days family and friends gathered from around the UK and further afield to hear recollections of Adam and to hear Adam's words read and music played beautifully by his family and friends. Thank you to everyone who came and everyone who took part. Thank you also to Sugi and Mark for making the beautiful film (available above) of the event.

A Gift From Adam

This poem was found amongst Adam’s school work after his death.  From the handwriting of the assistant it must have been written in 2010/11.

It is clearly unfinished, for example, Adam had not added punctuation, apart from two commas, which he tended to add last to his poems.  It is a wonderful gift to find from Adam.

WINTER

Winter is

Frost on my window pane like an artist’s stroke

Shimmering it sparkles with the changing light

Icicles clinging from the roofs and doorways

People slipping and sliding balancing precariously

Along winding streets and lanes

It is a winter tapestry

Snow covered hills

A frozen lake that a gliding swan swims on

It is a glittering star

A silver rocket

Landing on the moon

Shivering freezing sneezing

Fingers and toes

Face red

Nose running

Hats on heads

Collars turned up

People wrapped up

Thick socks, wellies, furry boots

Winter is a frosty landscape

A colourless time

Windows frosted over

Fields covered in snow

All is white
