MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
By Rita M. Zeichner, 1998

To: One and All Who Love This Land

From: A Lady No Longer Amongst You but Whose Spirit Hovers Near

One who came alone to spend the latter years of her life
in a state of peace and quiet harmony found instead an
imperfect small world filled with problems and people
who must strive to solve them in the best way possible.

I have come to love this Nevis, withal, and I am
going to pass from the world contented and happy
to have lived some marvellous moments and
very good years among Nevisians.

Thank you all, and those whom I especially thank for
giving joy and sweetness to my life must know who
you are. This is a great spot from which to move
on, perhaps to another phase of experience.

All of you out there, take care of Nevis and work
together for the betterment of your beautiful
world and everyone fortunate to be here.
