Here's to the Silent Ones
Who grace this special place
Anonymous pilgrims
Who visit here
But do not write a word
Who leave behind
Invisible footprints
On this, our beautiful beach
These reticent ones
write no replies
No names
Or avatars
Appear
To mark for us
The passage of their stars
We never know
When these Silent Ones
Are passing by
All the more reason
Why we must always
Leave candles glowing
In the windows
Of our souls
So our light
Will linger
In their hearts
Long after
They have left
Health and Happiness
Ted

And your light still lingers in our hearts, dear Ted, through your beautiful words.
God bless you wherever you are ... and all the silent ones.
