The Only Thing We Take. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

We live our lives everyday
and we build memories together.
We climb the never-ending stairs of
chaos and sometimes gloom,
and we try to make everything better.

Our thoughts sometimes
are never conveyed.
We never really say
until its too late,
how we feel about the people,
that are close to us.
Even though in those chambers
of our hearts,
It is always there.....love.

When we pass on,
our hearts are free of the weight,
the weight of trauma,
the weight of every day living.
The dust is taken away
And our hearts continue
on their journey.

The only thing we take with us is the love.
The love that we gave and the love
that we received.
Everything else perishes and fades.
Only love is eternal in this world of ours.❤
