SO very young, they all said A heart of gold, remembering Kindness’ in hues of carefully Wrapped embraces, kisses Breathing prayers, whispering Gentleness in each carefully packed Memento, each token – every treasure It wouldn’t feel like death Would dare to take that one, That smile, the twinkle in the air Where their heart became light Filling the thoughts with memories A sense of forever portrayed In one single photograph, history Saga of inspiration, fulfilled So very young, it was spoken Words reminding hearts so broken That it is love that tempts fate To recant the music, the dance Every laugh – each tear, the fear Haunting souls who reminisce Memorizing each detail, each joy All the beauty and wonder Stirred by the one who, so young… Filled up the darkness with light So bright, starry eyed, shimmering Like the sun, the moon, the skies Who remember, too… the life Rich and fruitful, who – in death Silences the doubt that clouds Hearts who grieve, yet still believe… In the end, even a child knows The truth – It is God who blesses Each life and every death leaves A message – in the story of this life The lesson filling up hearts with the proof That His love is forever – eternal And the ending is the blessing… Death is only the moment When the last breath is released When the last thought is relinquished … before the next breath is breathed In a home where no one Ever leaves, where no one ever grieves Finally, so very young becomes The spark of grace, the beginning Of faith – the flame that saves Because Jesus overcame death… He made a way for us all, saving Souls from the darkest night, a fall Assuring each reminder, each goodbye, That, in time… we’ll overcome grief… We’ll meet again in a heaven, Where we’ll know exquisite relief!
