Relinquished

His light is not extinguished
                               Only his body is relinquished
                               The sparkle he exhibited
                               Will never be inhibited
                               Every piece of stardust twinkle
                               Every work of Love generously sprinkled
                               Shines as bright as a Glorious Nova
                               Only his early life is over   
                               As the heavens accept his energy
                               Know that you are wrapped in his 
                                       loving, Living synergy
                                Occasionally, on this gravity filled earth
                                We're unsure of our celestial worth
                                There's a reason for our humble birth
                                 And a season to our earthly hearth
                                    Remember him with laughter
                                As he's accepted into the ever-after
                                His  light is not extinguished
                                Only his sweet body is relinquished
                                       Through the grace of God
                                             He's lifted with a nod
                                    Feel his smiling spirit brightly lit
                                          His melody has amplified
                                                 " Do you hear it?"
                                 He is home, his eternal Glorious Gift
                                 In Gods brilliant star light, he doth drift
                                  His light is not extinguished
                                   Only his body is relinquished
                                Oh No, his light is not extinguished
                                Only , a tired vessel is relinquished
