In Loving Memory of You, the Living

Softly, so softly, the warm breezes blow,

whispering my name in your mind.

As old memories stir an the tears start to flow,

please don’t build a new mountain to climb.

Gently, so gently, let’s revisit our past,

to remember the life we still share.

The joy that we felt in laughter will last

with the love in eternity’s care.

Play your hand, dear, how best to perceive

the magic in each card you’re dealt.

Value your freedom. As you choose how to grieve

stand firm when you hear a “thou shalt”.

Seek Joy as you choose the life you will live,

find the mystery in every new turn.

When you realize all discord is yours to forgive,

then you’ll know that to live is to learn.
