I saw the film, "Pride", and was so moved I wrote a
poem:
A PRAYER
FOR MARK ASHTON
Blessed be
your courage.
Holy was
your struggle.
In so short a life,
to move mountains.
In battles
seen as lost,
to move the world.
May you rest.
May you have good reward.
Let us
your life
remember.
Let us
believe,
brightly burn,
do
as much.
