A toast to people that have left me this year. I pledge to remember those cherished and dear. Though you lie under a carpet of earth. I will not forget you in this time of rebirth. The children you cherished and loved till the end, and remember the love that you gave till the end. I wish I could see, and hear all your laughter, that remains in my mind, till I depart from this Earth. You touched my soul daily, and stand in my mind, the best of what lies in the human potential. I knew you, but only ten years on this Earth, but it affected my love for this human potential. I hope to continue the love that you gave, too all those that met you until the last days. The children you loved and all your grandchildren, will miss what you gave, unconditional love. It’s less than a year since you have departed, and love was your message you had touted, to all that you found in this world of man. I know the indignities that you bore. Peace and solace be yours forever more. For you the living, remember the good that comes from each person. Remember the spark, which gave you the gift, which came from those living and long departed. They are but gone from this Earth, and wait the coming of rebirth.
A poem for Sandy my best friend on the Earth.
This has been the worst year in my life, but I have made it, and persevered. I feel ready to take on all, and anything that prevents my purpose and goals. “What doesn’t kill you. makes you stronger.” Even much death,and illness.
