    In Memory:

    a last poem

    God saw you getting tired
    When a cure was not to be.
    So He closed His arms around you
    and whispered "Come to Me".
    You didn't deserve what you went through
    And so He gave you... rest.
    God's garden must be beautiful,
    He only takes the best.
    And when I saw you sleeping
    So peaceful... free from pain,
    I could not wish you back,
    To suffer that again.

    One in two long-term smokers will die prematurely as a result of smoking - half of these in middle age. Every year in the UK, about 120,000 people in the UK are killed by smoking, accounting for one fifth of all UK deaths.6 Most die from one of the three main diseases associated with cigarette smoking: lung cancer, chronic obstructive lung disease (bronchitis and emphysema) and coronary heart disease. (www.ash.org.uk; March 2001):
