I didn’t know you except through
the stories Julie told about you
she spoke about your love
and how you were the source of laughter
you gave her a sense of belonging
the rock upon which the family anchored
they all gathered round your bedside
when it was time to say goodbye
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren
each with the same lust for living
headed in their own directions
but like bees to a hive they gathered
and thrived in the warmth of your love
involved in one another's lives.
However sad the world will be without you
life will go on, new thresholds for family to discover,
many more milestones to crossover, their history
will be as remarkable as your own
life’s current running through their veins
heads filled with ideas
songs to sing, steps to dance, catching the rhythm
of their lives with their families like roots
spreading out in many directions
but at the center your core values
to honor god, love him with all your heart
and live the life you were created to live,
fully expressed and totally spent.
May You Rest In Peace.
