For Helen Sudell

For Helen Sudell In weeks and months, the years do burn. As the lessons of our God we learn. Another blink, ten pages turn... From light we come, to light return. And in one summer, decades amass, As one autumn chilled night does last. Our spring was light, and so damned fast, Until our winter night did pass. So on this earth, we wait the time, Living for good reason or rhyme, But true the Light of God shall shine, On our soul eternal, on Love divine. It's always hard to say goodbye, To laughter untouched by time's cruel eye. For spreading love, God does reply: For all you've done, you'll never die.
