Whet e’er becomes of the essence
of the things they used to be,
some parts are laminated
in their loved ones’ memory.
For those interred, their nutrients
may smile out from the graveyard tree
And those whose ash blows o’er the land
may drift back on some summer breeze.
And whether or not their spirit
finds the light and leaves the dark
In the hearts of those they leave behind
Each one will leave their mark.
However we remember those
whose absence clouds our eye,
Just colour them with fondness
When you say that last goodbye.
As much as I hate to think of moments such as these...it's good advice you give Danny. Thanks! Hugs, Dee
Great work. Unfortunately, I never got that last goodbye. I will try to follow your advice though. Great work dan, brought a tear....good to see you reposting again. Tai
