We all lose loved ones and friends,
it's the way life is formed and let go.
Time goes on and yet it bends,
for the souls to go back home.
Yet through birth we are given a
piece of that light,
to help us find our way.
It is the memories and how
the heart pumps,
that keeps them alive as they stray.
Each day is a treasure for
none of us really know,
if we will be blessed
with a whole new day or go.
Time is precious and we should join
and find the way,
to keep that light open and free
and take them with us along each day.
Memories are the key to set them free,
for each memory comes their embrace.
A flickering within of that light,
they so gave us on our birth date.
Keep your thoughts close to your heart
and know they are near,
and you shall find they will show you
new blessings if you watch and listen my dear.
I have days so filled with tears
when I feel their embrace,
and I let the tears flow for through the mirror
they are their within my face.
Voice just as mine and that certain look,
I see the light so given within like a free flowing brook.
So embrace life while life is near ,
and hold your family with love my dear.
Let not a day pass you don't say I love you ,I do,
then once they are gone they will reside within you.
Author notes
The world complains about all the destruction and pain today .Pain that has been brought on by the elders for they are the teachers and have often lost their way uncaring of their children thus the children becomes the teachers of what they were taught . nA sad circle indeed for today it has left our children feeling their is no need . Yet if they only knew they could have what they so desire once you become an adult you now walk the wire will you bring this world back around or will you sit in sorrow and live as you have been taught through sorrow

This was very truthful..
Beautiful, really..
This wasn't exactly depressing, at all.
It made me feel..[ better ] .
Although it wasn't depressing,
I'm going to keep it..
because I [ loved ] it.
Thank-You very much for entering,
this was just what I needed.
Best of luck..

So true~
Oooooooooooh I hear You and so true of what You speak it is like children mimick what they see everybody and if they are exposed to negativity- it would take some work to recondition the Mind to not think in that fashion~
There is so much opportunity that is wasted-
so sad to see
Thank You for sharing Your Heart and Spirit~
Many blessings to You in all You do Sweet One
Best wishes in the contest too
with much love & light~ Desire~*~
