Memories and Time Poems
If you want to divert your audience’s attention towards the memories and time you cherished with your loved one, then this theme is perfect for you. The poems listed below will help you deliver your message.

Memories
Life can never stay the same
No matter how we try
Our hands can never stop
The clock is ticking by
But love remains, unchanging
In the care of sorrowing hearts
For as the love of life is stilted
The love of memory starts
Dying Flowers
Love came
As it often does,
All smiles
And fragrant flowers,
But when it left
It was left behind,
The fallen petals
Of what was
Ours.
Time
Time can not steal the treasures
That we carry in our hearts
Not ever dim the shining thoughts
Our cherished past imparts
For the memories of the ones
We loved still cast a gentle glow,
To grace our days and light
Our paths, wherever we may go
Time
Time can not steal the treasures
That we carry in our hearts
Not ever dim the shining thoughts
Our cherished past imparts
For the memories of the ones
We loved still cast a gentle glow,
To grace our days and light
Our paths, wherever we may go
A Life Unlived
Life is to live, no more confusion,
In what we believe.
It’s hard, you see?
Nowhere to go,
Standing on a cliff.
Afraid of falling,
Life won’t repeat,
Like autumn leaves.
Those rules of yours,
They are not so fair,
And I’m sick of it.
I, too, have a soul,
A beautiful dream,
But in a life I unlived.
A Life Unlived
Life is to live, no more confusion,
In what we believe.
It’s hard, you see?
Nowhere to go,
Standing on a cliff.
Afraid of falling,
Life won’t repeat,
Like autumn leaves.
Those rules of yours,
They are not so fair,
And I’m sick of it.
I, too, have a soul,
A beautiful dream,
But in a life I unlived.
Moonlight reflection
You don’t criticize the moon,
For not shining the same each night,
No harsh words, no bitter tune,
Just a soft and gentle sight.
You don’t gaze up and decree,
“You’re not trying hard enough,”
For the moon’s sweet mystery,
Needs no struggle, no rough stuff.
Because the moon need not be,
Full and bright each night to be loved,
Its phases set the heart free,
A gift from heaven above.
And neither do you, dear soul,
Need perfection’s heavy load,
In every phase, you are whole,
Loved on every winding road.
The Last Time
There was a last time
for everything—
But I didn’t know it then.
The last time you called,
the last time we laughed,
The last time I held your hand
without knowing
I would never hold it again.
Funny, how the end never tells you
that it’s arrived—
It just stands quietly
at the door,
waiting for you to notice.
Love and Connection Poems
Choosing poems full of love is the best way to show your love for the deceased and also to develop a deep connection with the audience. Here are some ideas for you:

Between the Stars
You live between the stars at night,
A spark of joy, a gentle light.
No map can chart the place you’re near,
But every glance reminds us here.
A Name That Holds
We say your name and pause a while,
And with it comes your steady smile.
It holds the weight, it warms the air—
A name too full of love to spare.
Carried Still
Though we don’t see your hands today,
We feel them guide us, show the way.
You taught us strength, and how to bend—
You were our start, you’ll be our end.
Little Signs
A bird that lands, a sudden breeze,
The creak of old familiar trees.
These little signs, we swear they show
That you’re still near, and want us so.
Under the Moon
We look for you when nights are long,
In moonlit skies, in quiet song.
You may not walk these roads again—
But shine above, beyond the bend.
Still Yours
I still am yours, though time has passed,
Though days are short, and nights are vast.
No grave, no sky, can take from me
The bond that lives eternally.
Hands in the Soil
You worked the ground, you grew the green,
And left behind what is still seen.
Your hands are gone, your love remains—
In roots that bloom through sun and rain.
A Simple Grace
No crowns, no crowns, no praise you sought,
Just kindness in the things you brought.
You left with grace, as you had lived—
A quiet heart that always gives.
The First Snow
The first snow fell and brought peace,
A stillness where the heart finds ease.
It felt like you were close again—
In every flake, a long-lost friend.
The Quiet Garden
The garden grows though you are gone,
It hums your song, a wordless song.
And every bloom and leaf that grows
Reminds me that your love still flows.
Your Way
You walked your path with quiet pride,
With gentle steps and love inside.
Now we must walk the path you knew—
With pieces of your heart in view.
Between the Lines
In every note you used to write,
A part of you still shines so bright.
We read the lines, we feel the weight—
Of love that lingers past the date.
Stillness Speaks
The room is still, the air is light,
But something whispers through the night.
It tells me you are not so far—
Just hidden where the memories are.
Time Does Not Erase
Time may soften, time may bend,
But time won’t bring this love to an end.
The clock will tick, the days will fade—
But not the bond that we have made.
The Gift You Gave
You gave us peace, you gave us light,
You stayed through every darkest night.
And now you rest, but not alone—
For every heart still calls you home.
We’ll Meet Again
We’ll meet again in some new spring,
Where joy and song and wildflowers sing.
Until that time, I’ll walk with grace—
And see your shadow in each place.
The Quiet Path
You walked a path both kind and true,
With steady steps, with dreams in view.
You gave your love, you shared your light,
You turned the dark to something bright.
And when at last the road grew long,
Your spirit stayed, both brave and strong.
You did not leave, not truly so,
For footprints mark the way we go.
Each path we take, each step we tread,
It is guided by the life you led.
Though gone from sight, you walk ahead,
And lead us where all souls are led.
Gone But Still Here
You’ve gone where we cannot yet go,
A path unknown, but still we know.
For every step you take in life
Still guides us through both peace and strife.
Your chair is empty, yet we feel
A presence near, a love so real.
No walls, no earth, no depth of sea
Can break the bond you gave to me.
And when the stars light up the skies,
We see your spirit in their eyes.
Gone from our sight, but not from near,
Forever loved, forever here.
Your Gentle Way
The way you walked was soft, sincere,
You carried love, you banished fear.
A gentle smile, a listening ear,
A gift of comfort year by year.
Now silence fills the space you kept,
And still we weep the tears we’ve wept.
But love like yours will never die,
It lifts us when we wonder why.
We’ll honor you by living kindly,
By keeping peace within our minds.
For though your journey’s reached its end,
Your gentle way will still transcend.
Until We Meet Again
The days feel long, the nights too wide,
Without your hand here by my side.
Yet faith reminds, and hope is near,
That one sweet day, you’ll reappear.
For love does not decay or fade,
It’s stronger than the grave is made.
It waits beyond where we can see,
It waits with arms still meant for me.
So I will walk this path with grace,
And hold the thought of your embrace.
This isn’t the end, just time apart—
Until we meet, you’re in my heart
Roots and Branches
The roots go deep, the branches high,
a tree that stands against the sky.
Its bark is scarred, its leaves are torn,
yet still it rises every morn.
Beneath its shade, the children play,
The elders rest, the weary stay.
It holds the stories, loss, and birth,
The turning cycles of the Earth.
And when its trunk at last must fall,
Its seeds will answer to the call.
For roots and branches never die,
They only learn a new reply.
Always With You
There are nights I sit in silence,
wishing you were here,
wishing life had given us more days, more hours, more moments.
I reach for memories and find comfort in the pieces of you that live in every corner of my soul. You taught me love, you showed me kindness,
You left me with gifts that death cannot take away.
Though you are gone from my sight,
you are never gone from my heart.
You walk beside me in the quiet morning,
in the stillness of evening,
in the whispers of the wind and the songs of the earth.
I feel you when I am weak,
reminding me to stand, to breathe,
to keep moving forward.
One day, we will meet again, beyond this life,
beyond sorrow and pain. Until then,
I carry you with me—in my tears,
in my laughter, in every beat of my heart.
I loved you yesterday, I love you today, I will love you for all my tomorrows.
You are not lost, you are not gone,
you live forever in me.
A Mom Lives Forever
You have not truly lost your mother,
Though you’ve whispered your last farewell,
Though the parting brings deep sorrow,
A mother’s love will always dwell.
If you smile at cherished old songs
And the memories they replay,
It’s because you had a mother
Who taught your heart that way?
If you pause to help a stranger,
Look within and you will see,
It’s because you had a mother
Who shared her kindness endlessly.
If you turn to God when weary,
Seeking strength to face the day,
It’s because you had a mother
Who showed you how to pray?
No, you’ve never truly lost her,
Though you’ve said your last goodbye,
In your heart and every action,
A mother’s love will never die.
Farewell and Grief Poems
Choosing grief poems will deliver your message that yes, goodbye is really painful, but memories always remain in our hearts. You can take some notes from the poems given below, or just deliver them as it is.

Emptiness
It is a state of quiet haze,
Where days just pass in a distant gaze.
Not sad, not happy, not anything real,
Just an emptiness I cannot feel.
Life moves on, all seems fine,
Yet nothing truly feels like mine.
Laughter echoes, voices fade,
But inside me, a silence stays.
Dreams still whisper, goals still shine,
I chase them hard, yet feel no sign—
Of joy, of pain, of something more,
Just a hollow locked behind a door.
I carry weights no one can see,
A silent war inside of me.
Maybe one day, I’ll find the key,
To feel again, to truly be.
Silent voice
Never before
Had I wanted to say
So much,
But said so little;
Felt so much
But stayed
So silent.
A Quiet Death by John Mark Green
Biting your tongue
So words don’t slip out.
The taste of copper,
Sharp in your mouth.
“Penny for your thoughts,”
The saying goes,
But they could never afford
the words buried below.
Sentenced to silence,
laid in unmarked graves,
as you’re slowly murdered
by the things you don’t say.
When I die
When I’m finally laid to rest,
Please don’t put me in a wooden casket;
Or leave flowers at my grave,
In a pretty little basket.
Don’t pump me full of chemicals
And put me on display;
Just bury me beneath the earth,
And plant a seed upon my grave.
And as my body rots below,
My atoms, reassimilated;
In my place, a tree will grow,
From the place where I originated.
Precious minerals, returned to earth,
Little molecules of me—
The fuel for yet another life,
As I become the tree.
An Empty Page
Your story paused mid-sentence here,
A sudden stop, a drop of tears.
But in our hearts, the book goes on,
Each memory is a living song.
Ashes and Echoes
From ashes rise the echo’s call,
A gentle sound that hugs us all.
Not gone, but changed, your voice remains—
A quiet hymn in life’s refrains.
Unspoken
We said so much, but not enough—
The words we missed, the little stuff.
Still, silence speaks what we both knew:
That love was deep, and real, and true.
The Long Goodbye
Grief is slow, a gentle tide,
It pulls us close, then lets us hide.
Yet in the waves we hear your name,
And know that love will stay the same.
Rest in the Rain
The rain will fall, but we’ll not fear—
It only means that you are near.
Each drop a kiss, a whispered word,
A love still felt, a voice still heard.
A Quiet Goodbye
You left so quietly, no sound,
Just stillness where your love was found.
Yet every breath and every sigh
Still carries your soft goodbye.
The Empty Bed
The bed feels cold, the quilt undone,
No weight on you, no rising sun.
But in the sheets your shape still stays—
A ghost of love from brighter days.
Soft Goodbye
You left with grace, without a plea,
A final gift of peace to me.
Though tears will come, I will not fear—
Your love remains; it’s always here.
Still in the Room
Your coat still hangs, your shoes still rest,
A quiet home you once possessed.
We keep it warm, we keep it true—
Because it feels like home needs you.
The Bridge
You crossed a bridge we cannot see,
But love still walks from you to me.
It stretches wide, it stands so strong—
And holds us close where we belong.
The Last Hug
I dream of one last hug to give,
One moment more where you still live.
But dreams must end, and life goes on—
And love remains though you are gone.
The Empty Place
There is an empty place in the room tonight.
It isn’t loud,
It does not demand,
Yet it pulls every eye,
every thought,
like gravity.
You should be here,
your voice filling the quiet,
Your smile stitches warmth across the cold edges of our day.
But instead, we sit in this hollow space,
searching for you in shadows,
in the way the light falls through the window,
In the way silence now feels heavier than sound.
I do not know how to carry this.
Grief is not neat.
It breaks at odd times —
in laughter that turns into tears,
in tears that turn into aching silence.
It sits with me at breakfast,
walks with me at night,
and climbs into bed uninvited.
They tell me you are at peace.
I try to believe it,
But peace feels far away when I still need you.
I still reach for the phone,
So we gather,
not to say goodbye —
because goodbye feels too sharp,
too final,
like closing a book we are still meant to read.
No, we gather to remember.
To hold you close in stories,
to pass you from mouth to mouth like bread,
to feed each other with what you left behind.
Rest now.
We will keep your place at the table in our hearts.
We will carry your light until it becomes part of our own.
And though the empty place will always remain,
it will not be just emptiness.
It will be the shape of you,
still with us,
still loved,
still ours.
The Goodbye
Each one hurts and heals at once—
a reminder that love leaves marks too deep to fade.
I do not know how to carry this loss.
There are mornings when I wake
And for a moment, I forget.
I was expecting you there,
your hand reaching for mine,
Your eyes meet mine with quiet knowing.
Then reality strikes like thunder,
and I am alone again,
I pray you can forgive my doubt.
If I could have one more hour,
I would fill it with gratitude.
Not for grand things—
But for the quiet moments:
tea shared at dawn,
the warmth of your hand,
The sound of your voice calling me home.
Those simple moments now feel like treasures
I never knew I’d lose so soon.
Rest, beloved.
We are who we are because you were here.
So though the tears will not stop tonight,
Though the ache will not ease for years to come,
I promise you this:
Your light will not go out.
It burns in us now,
in the way we choose kindness,
in the way we carry love,
in the way we remember.
Goodbye for now,
Though I know it is not forever.
Until the day my path crosses yours again,
I will hold you close,
in memory, in love,
in the quiet weight of goodbye.
The Weight of Goodbye
The air feels heavy today,
as though the sky itself grieves.
Even the birds sing softer,
their wings folding against the sorrow
that hangs in every corner of this place.
I sat where you once sat,
and I could almost hear your breath,
a ghost of warmth that still lingers
on the cushions worn by your body.
My hand reached out
before my mind remembered —
You were not there.
What strange cruelty,
to wake each morning
expecting to see your face,
expecting to hear your laugh,
only to be met with the silence
That reminds me again and again
that you are gone.
The world tells me to be strong,
to hold my head high,
to carry your memory like a torch.
But no one tells me how to quiet the nights,
How to stand in the kitchen
and not see you at the table,
How to walk down the hall
and not hear your footsteps follow.
They say time is a healer,
But I do not want time’s mercy.
I want the sound of your voice,
the weight of your hand,
the steadying calm of your presence.
I want the simple things
that no prayer or poem
can give back to me.
So I will grieve you loudly and quietly.
I will speak your name
when others fall silent.
I will laugh at your jokes
even when no one else remembers them.
I will cry into my pillow
and let the tears stain the fabric.
Because grief, too,
is a form of love.
And though goodbye
feels heavier than I can carry,
I will shoulder it.
I will keep carrying you,
not in my arms,
But in my heart,
in every breath I take
that still aches for you.
Your Absence Is a Room
Since you left,
the house has changed its sound.
Doors do not close the same way,
and chairs scrape against the floor
with an echo that feels too sharp.
Even the walls
seem to know you are missing.
I move from room to room
searching for you.
Your jacket still hangs by the door,
Your favorite book rests on the table,
your handwriting on scraps of paper
whispers pieces of your mind.
And yet you are nowhere,
Only the remnants remain.
Your absence has become a room I live in,
a vast and endless hall
with no windows,
no doors,
I know that light will never leave me.
It burns quietly,
eternally,
until the day we meet again.
The Empty Doorway
The door still creaks the way it always did,
But it no longer opens to your smile.
I stand there longer than I should,
hoping that if I wait,
you’ll appear,
just as you always did,
with that tired but gentle kindness in your eyes.
I try to tell myself you are gone.
The words sound hollow,
as though they belong to someone else’s story.
Yet here I am,
stumbling through days that feel stretched thin,
days that will never be the same.
I wish I had said more,
But I know even if I had,
It would never be enough.
No words could capture the shape of what you gave —
the comfort of your voice,
the warmth of your presence,
The steadiness of your care.
At night, when shadows lengthen,
A Much-Loved Grandma
The day that God called your name
It broke hearts in two
But Heaven needed an Angel
And the one he picked was you
We just wish he could have waited
And let you stay awhile
But you have left memories in hearts
And that’s where they’ll always smile
We just wish we could rewind the clock
Or make it turn real slow
So hugs could be given one more time
Before, you had to go
No matter how much time passes
You’ll be missed every day
Keep shining bright in Heaven
To help us find our way
I Never Got To Say Goodbye
I never had the moment to say I love you,
I never found the time to say I’ll miss you.
No one prepared me, no warning, no sign,
It breaks my heart—I missed goodbye.
Where are you now, please whisper to me,
Show me a sign, let my soul see.
I know it can’t happen, though daily I try,
All that I wanted was one goodbye.
I pray that you’re smiling, wherever you stay,
You live in my heart every single day.
If I could reach Heaven, I’d spread my wings high,
Only to hold you and say goodbye.
I’ll treasure your memory each day that I live,
You were so kind, with so much to give.
To have known you at all was a gift I can’t deny,
Perhaps it is time I whisper goodbye.
I’ll carry forever the moments we knew,
I hope you can feel how much I love you.
Till we meet again, with God’s grace, by,
I love you, I miss you, for now—goodbye.
Five Minutes
If I only had five moments,
The day you slipped away,
I would have found the time to share,
all the words I longed to say.
I never got to show you,
How deeply you touched my heart.
Or that you were the greatest,
a shining, unmatched part.
The last time we spoke together,
I wish I could have seen.
I would have whispered I cherish you,
and lingered in that scene.
I’d wrap you in the warmest embrace,
I’d never let you leave.
I’d say I’ll miss you endlessly,
more than you could believe.
Now God has called you homeward,
to spread your wings and fly.
To leave this world behind you,
and soar where angels lie.
So wait for me in paradise,
Don’t let me walk alone.
When angels come to guide me,
be there to lead me home.
Final Battle
A face that lingers in my mind,
A smile I’ve seen a thousand times.
Two eyes that sparkled through the night,
One last struggle you could not fight.
The hours were long—then night, then dawn.
I knew too soon you would be gone.
I held your hand so close to mine,
Counting down the fragile time.
You stayed with us, you fought so bravely,
But still my heart ached and gave.
Now a picture shows me your smile,
Your number stays on my phone for a while.
I play a clip to hear your tone,
I do these things—I’m not alone.
Yet precious memories remain with me,
Your love is etched deep for eternity.
I never truly said goodbye,
Though every day I still ask why.
You wait in Heaven, peaceful, free,
Until God calls you back to me…
Another day
Another day drifts by
Yet in my state of disbelief, I pause to
recall you
When I close my eyes, they are heavy and
moisture-laden, as if you were close
Within, I feel chilled and dim, like a storm cloud
before it moves on
You are not just a person I’ve known, you are a
sentiment etched in my heart
Because pieces of you are present in the songs I
hear, and pieces of you are present in the paths
I roam
Even the tones of your soft, gentle voice can be
caught amid the damp, sorrowful rain
Like thunder that has hit me sharply and
clear, the ache I feel is profound and genuine
You are something so unique, and something so
precious
There is no one quite like you I’d ever discover again
What you have left behind is your lovely and
compassionate essence,
Your warm likeness is woven into the
gently, peaceful sky
Yet in my state of disbelief, I pause to
recall you
Another day drifts by.
The end
A heart of gold stopped beating
Hard-working hands now rest
This has been one of life’s challenges
But they do say, God only takes the best
We sat with you by your bedside
Our hearts became crushed and sore
We saw our duty through to the end
Until we could do no more
A life of kindness and laughter
Your love for all the family is so true
You did your best for all of us
And we will always remember you
You leave behind a legacy
So great, it’s beyond measure
Our hearts are full of beautiful memories
So precious that we will treasure
Until the time comes we meet again
Who knows how long we have to wait
On behalf of your friends and family, we say
God bless you, Dad. We love you, mate.
Spiritual Journey and Eternal Rest Poems
Spiritual poems are best if you want your audience to know that death is not the end, and there is a journey ahead. It will be comforting yet deep. Take inspiration from the following poems.

The River That Remembers
A river runs beyond the town,
its voice a low and steady song.
It moves whispers from the hills,
the weight of silence, deep and long.
It only bears them gently forth
and folds them into endless day.
So if you wander by its side,
and pause to watch its body bend,
the river may recall your name—
But only love will be the end.
Ashes in the Wind
They carried him down to the breaking shore,
where waves like mourners bent their knees.
The ashes met the restless wind
and scattered where the water flows.
No hand could hold, no eye could catch
the place where the final fragment goes.
Yet in the hearts that beat and break,
His voice remains, a softer hue.
Though ashes fade, though winds may turn,
The soul is carried, ever true.
Midnight Prayer
At midnight’s hour, the silence bends,
the air is thick, the moment lends
a window to the soul’s own song,
a place where shadows still belong.
I close my eyes, I bow my head,
I speak to those I’ve loved and shed.
No temple grand, no voice aloud,
just stars that form a listening crowd.
And though no answer breaks the dark,
a warmth ignites a hidden spark.
For prayer is not to change the skies,
But teach the heart where beauty lies
The Pilgrim’s Lantern
A pilgrim walked through fields of night,
His lantern was burning faintly with light.
The road was long, the stones were rough,
The path ahead was dark enough.
Yet still he walked, with steady pace,
his flame a friend, his guide, his grace.
Through wind and rain, through shadow’s hand,
he never ceased to seek the land.
And when at last the dawn arose,
his lantern dimmed, his spirit froze.
For what he sought was not apart—
The light was always in his heart.
The Path Beyond
You’ve taken steps beyond our sight,
toward morning’s shore, toward fuller light.
The road you walked was long, unkind,
yet peace awaits, your soul will find.
We stand behind with a heavy heart,
reluctant now that we must part.
Yet though you’ve gone beyond the bend,
we’ll meet you there when journeys end.
The path is not a road unknown,
but one where none must walk alone.
For love will guide, and love will stay,
until we join you on that way.
The Last Farewell
We gave you back to earth today,
with heavy hearts, with words to say.
The ground received your mortal frame,
but Heaven knew your truer name.
Our tears are rivers, flowing long,
Yet sorrow cannot silence song.
We’ll sing your praise, we’ll tell your tale,
Love stands when other things may fail.
The Ocean Calls
The tide has pulled you from the shore,
your boat has sailed, and we see no more.
Yet oceans vast are not divided,
for love still flows, a constant tide.
We stand, we grieve, yet know it true,
the sea still carries us to you.
And when our time has reached its close,
We’ll sail the same tide where it goes.
Sleep in Fields of Light
Sleep in fields of endless light,
the stars above, the earth so bright.
The pain is gone, the burden done,
you rest beneath the setting sun.
We’ll walk the path you walked before,
and meet again on a brighter shore.
Till then, in faith, in grief, we fight,
to let you sleep in fields of light.
We Carry You
We carry you in every day,
in all we do, in what we say.
Though death has taken flesh away,
the heart insists that you will stay.
We carry you through dark and light,
in tears of day, in dreams of night.
No end can stop, no grave undo,
the truth we live: we carry you.
Not Goodbye
This is not goodbye, we say,
but “till we meet another day.”
For love does not dissolve with death,
nor vanish with a final breath.
It lingers, clings, and carries on
when night is dark, when day is gone.
So let the tears and sorrow cry,
but know this truth: it’s not goodbye.
No More Tomorrows
There are no more tomorrows left,
the day has closed, the night has crept.
Yet in the past, we find you near,
your voice, your smile, your laughter clear.
No future dawn will bring you home,
your journey far, your spirit flown.
But what remains is not just pain,
your lessons live, your love sustains.
No more tomorrows—yet today,
your memory lights our darkest way.
Light at the Door
You stood a while, then turned to go,
through quiet halls where candles glow.
We watched the light embrace your frame;
It whispered low and called your name.
The door swung wide, the night was still,
and we felt a warmth, a gentle will.
Though footsteps faded past our floor,
a brighter flame burned at the door.
We do not grieve as those alone;
Your spirit rests in a brighter home.
For every night, through grief and more,
we’ll see your light shine at the door.
When We Lay You Down
You slipped away — softly, suddenly,
like a candle that burned itself quiet in the night.
And we are left with shadows and the smoke of memory.
I look at your chair, the one you always claimed,
and it stares back at me — empty,
yet filled with you, somehow more than ever.
I hear your voice in the corner of the room,
a laugh that interrupts the hush,
a word that falls into the quiet like rain.
I want to believe you are near.
Not just in photographs, not just in prayer,
but in the thin spaces between breaths,
in the rustle of leaves,
In the song, the sparrow dares to sing
on mornings too cold for music.
You were not perfect; no one is.
But you loved. And that is enough.
You carried burdens no one saw,
and you laid down joys for others to carry.
That is the story we will tell,
over and over, until it outlives even us.
They say time will heal,
but what does that mean when love was the wound and the balm alike?
I do not want the healing if it means forgetting.
So I will keep the ache.
I will keep the tears that surprise me in the middle of the day.
I will keep the way your name feels warm in my mouth.
Sleep now, in the earth’s arms,
where no pain reaches,
where no night lingers too long.
We will follow, someday — not today, not yet,
but someday, when our work is finished,
and we too are carried into the hush of the ground.
Until then, we speak your name,
we keep your love alive in the telling.
And though we lay you down.
His Journey’s Just Begun
Don’t consider him as departed
His adventure has just started.
Existence holds many dimensions
This world is merely one.
Imagine him resting
from the grief and the cries.
In a realm of warmth and solace
where time has no days or years.
Reflect on how he might be hoping
that we could understand now.
How only our sorrow
can truly fade away.
And picture him as enduring
in the souls of those he influenced
For nothing cherished is ever forgotten
And he was cherished so deeply.

Her love stays with me, steady and strong.”
