Floating Ashes
I have necklaces hanging all over the place
And pictures so I can still see her face
Plus just one message saved to hear her voice
These are the things I saved by only my choice
I have a pillow where she once laid her head
The spoon I used when she needed to be fed
Many memories of all the games we used to play
Fresh in my mind like it was just yesterday
Spread some of her ashes in a small lagoon
Told her I loved her and I'd see her soon
That is when the picture became some what blurred
The ashes were floating and that's just absurd
As the center turned like a little tidal wave
Then fell out while the rest floated away
These ashes only floated just maybe a foot or two
Sank turning the water a bright shade of blue
I raised my head and looked at the sky above
Thanked God for showing us all of his Love!
