Close Your Eyes

TIME PASSES. . . 
          with it the faces of those we knew who are no longer with us.

LOVE AND LIFE. . .
          Parents, Grandparents, Brothers, Sisters, Uncles, Aunts, Husbands, Wives,
          Children, and Friends who helped shape to our lives.

SOMBER SORROW. . .
          as we try now to remember them and the Spirit of Life each one had within. 

HAPPY HEARTACHE. . .
           the little smile which forms on our face as we think of something they did to
           make us laugh at ourselves.

MEMORIES SAVED. . .
          those rich treasures we keep within from each one, as we see their faces, hear
          their voices, and remember them once more.

AWAKE NOW. . .
          our eyes open to the life giving memories we now make with those who
          remain, saving the moment, the look, the sound for another time.

TIME PASSES. . .
          when all the cherished moments will be brought together on the day of 
          reunion promised by our Lord.  The day of never ending reunion with Him.
