A Poem for the Dead
from Come Pray with Me Hosted by Sarah Walsh
On this episode I recite a poem for the deceased. I hope that by sharing this poem I help you both mourn and celebrate the memory of a loved one. A life has ended, with the passing of a friend, the memories of times, have come to an end, their threads wove the fabric of an earlier day. A life has ended, with the passing of a friend, sunrises and sunsets, bright days and dark nights circled again and again, and gave context to this life, moment after moment, their life was lived each day. A life has ended, with the passing of a friend, lives have been touched by the dear one's journey, laughter, tears, hopes, fears, a life has come to an end memories hold their spirit alive, in my own life. A life has ended, with the passing of a friend, the loss of future moments, that will not be, grateful for moments shared, that nourished me, moments lived, in casual belief, they would never end. A part of me has ended, with the passing of a friend, be they gone from the earthly plane, their spirit soars, to renew again, in Summerland, Heaven or another life. I know not where, but their love remains with me, for in this life, we friends, did share. I miss my friend, but they will always be near, inside of me, inside you, and all who took time to hear, the music of this life so dear, a life now silent, living only in the memory, of those who survive. In honor of Grans. I don't know where you are now, but I hope you know how much I love you and how much you have helped me. Rest in Peace.
