Resilience

My kindred spirit
Destiny to commend
A time and a place
A moment not to end

Comfort in knowing
Shared memories sublime
Youthful, not ragged
Crisp and divine

Sharing those chapters
Brings joy to the heart
Crossed paths in a moment
A beginning, a start

The stars were aligned
A friendship conceived
Expanding through journeys
Experiences perceived

A benefaction of fate
Priceless splinters in time
Not to be auctioned
It’s yours and it’s mine

Always remember
Not far from my mind
When life throws a dagger
Your pain is not blind

Your kindred spirit is with you
Just reach and you’ll know
Unburden your feelings
Your light will again glow

Your courage in loss
Is a strength you can share;
It is a comfort just knowing
In time you’ll be there

For now, just reflect
On the time they were here;
You will always have memories
Your parents so dear.
