Whispered Serenade
Words are hard to come by
when choking back the tears
recalling when our paths crossed
embracing yesteryears
from that first encounter
connected heart to heart
you made a strong impression
touched me deep inside
with spirit ever soaring
as if on natural high
laughter so contagious
tickled me with pride
your love for God 'n Family
in poetry portrayed
a woman of great substance
with stainless heart
displayed...
words were penned on paper
revealing inner soul
poetry...
with meaning
as stories...
you unfurled
~~~~
have you any inkling
how much you're dearly loved?
so many lives now different
by you
forever touched...
compassionate 'n caring
sunshines brightest ray
encouraging 'n witty
a rainbow after rain
your wings are spreading
Angel...
soon you'll fly away
the air that leads to Heaven
will lead you through the veil
yes...
journey almost over
but...
you'll visit ev'ry June
there among'st the flowers
with lilacs...
fully bloomed
you'll be the kiss of springtime
God's whispers 'pon a breeze
when twinkling stars,
light midnight
there too...
is where you'll be
I'll remember you
with laughter
good times we have shared
celebrate your being
as though...
you're still right here
shall weep not in your passing
'stead dance
with memories
hold tight...
our precious moments
allow them...
still to be
my spirit there beside you
in every whispered Prayer
hand in hand we venture
back to yesteryear
so let there be no sadness
or tears within your eyes
at rainbows end...
I'll see you
my promise...
bye 'n bye
