Poem by Lucy Partington

Here is a poem by the original Luminous Girl, Lucy. You will find it on her grave at Hailes Church, near Winchcombe.

Things are as big as you make them -

I can fill a whole body,

a whole day of life

with worry

about a few words;

yet, the same evening,

looking up,

can frame my fingers

to fit the sky

in my cupped hands.

Lucy lives on in the hearts of those who knew her and in her words.
