Liturgy We remember, we remember, we remember… I received a note today, today, today Draft of a marker enclosed Celtic cross upon black stone I received a note today. “A Kind and Gentle Child of God” Cherished sister, daughter, friend… And so the words on stone will say. On the opposite side facing due west It will carry words you wrote Back in two thousand and oh three… When enough, was more. And more was enough. I remember, I remember, I remember… The sisters in charge of your finality Are struggling so, my dear, They worry that you’ll come back and Charge them, then haunt with… “you didn’t hear!” I think they chose to settle me in As arbitrator by choice And give to them your final thought As if I were ever your voice. I’ve known no voice now that you’ve gone And silence roars like any ocean’s waves I’m deaf and dumb, no writing of songs As my fingers and mind don’t behave. Perhaps, in spring, when your marker is placed My fingers will touch granite cold Mayhap will be then that I will be saved And my voice will come back to give gold With some word that my loss might find freedom Some sense that I might disclose The willingness of your soul who chanced death That others may be so indisposed. No, it is not an easy matter to make the choice required, But God loves you, oh my dear, on the voice of choice you desired. ~*~ © KRJ November 27, 2010 … for Louise |

The toughest thing to write, I would imagine. How do you put it all in words and please her at the same time? Thank you for the thoughts [This message has been edited by bigthinker8 (11-29-2010 02:25 AM).] |

You expressed the loss that you experienced eloquently, which is never easy. Peace be with you. |
