Resurrected Graves of Memory

In depth, in graves of memory I brought my rose of peace If you live on within my heart Your life will never cease Is earthen vase, in layers of time Living as we breathe Then layer by layer this living climb Memories' sword of light unsheathed In memory, I wield it It shines within my hands No longer memories grave I sit Cutting through time's misty lands Now you are here with me Funny, joyful, full of life Alive as you can be Before sorrowed tears and strife Amidst my turbulence of youth Felling vain Philosophies wisdoms You Shared with me the truth A King beyond earth's kingdoms. Your lovely eyes shown brightly As sharing with me hope Your weilded sword held tightly That Light helped you to cope In depth, beyond Grave memory Resurrected rose of peace Vibrant you, within my heart Your life will never cease Though living in my heart You walk on Heaven's shore We're really not that far apart Closer than In days of yore

Honoring memory of the beloved. They don't part--they stay where there is love. Lovely poem, BJ.

Thank you, Vijay, they not only live on in our hearts and memories, I believe they see us and are a part of the 'cloud of witnesses' that the book of Hebrews 12:1 told about. That verse is such a comfort to me. I know they must know our love for them lives on in our hearts, and their love for us lives on as well. Thank you for your words and visit Vijay <3

I understand some great friend has left this vale of tears. Great poem. We must always remember the souls departed.

There are more, and more gathering on the eternal side Victor. My sister Barbara recently joined that host of heaven so unexpectedly last month. She is a fresh sorrow in our hearts, but there are others as well. Three of my siblings, four if you count my cousin who was as a brother when we were little, are on the other side. Memories help so much, what a gift from God are memories <3
