Carrying love in your arms
No matter the time
The sun sets too early on this bountiful life
Dont be heedless at the fact we have loved
And be kind at our now lementing
For the sake of peace
Allow a final embrace
For your coming is our departure
And though the binds we forged
Are now but threads
They still shine like gold
To these eyes now closing

we sat while the rosary was said many times
that boy sat motionless
that girl cried, in a way
uncontrollably
And death came and
there was still more
that was missing
from afar,
something we all shared
for evermore
This is so true, what you wrote.
If we could know this, the gold
in all our frustrations,
or in any sacrifice.
Love, and the inevitability
of death, that surrounds
us all!
Thank you!
Peace!

Very moving and poignant, particularly for me right now.
I/'/ve always hoped that when the time comes, I will slip peacefully into sleep and pass into the next life as but a small ripple on a big ocean.
Lovely write
