Eternal Life
To draw them back to us
through the dimming light of years
we rely on dried flowers, photos,
and perhaps leather-bound diaries.
And our struggling minds pull
through the figment to the real,
the reality of here and now.
But what have we re-gained of these
yesteryears if not not just more
figments, memories molded and
reshaped by us as we experience
life without our loved ones.
And here we all share in the
knowing, as far as we can know.
Eternal life is this ... to know God.
To know each other is to feel
God's presence and love.
