Obituary
I wrote an obituary to share my thoughts, the words about
a loved one's life and passing. In mourning, I will bury
the flesh and remember the existence of a life, to
honor and cherish the soul, worldly achievements and love in our
hearts. Sadly, all condensed to a paragraph on a page, a short tour
of the memories family and friends hold dear. Out
of the words, we reflect on the light of a life, one drop in a ray
of eternal light. Each letter, a moment, a breath, we must buy.
A part of me died, too, and life goes on. I feel the earth...it will still orbit
the sun. Days turn to years. Yes, life goes on. I have a child now, a boy,
my loved one will never meet on this earth. Perhaps, on this journey, our boat
will take us to the otherside where we will all meet one day. Your
love lives, I wrote in memoriam. I will always carry your love, a radiance lit
within my heart, displayed like the finest, priceless art.
