Immortal Light Almost, almost, my light with yours went dark; My spirit comatose, could it still live? God pitied me. He touched and found a spark; He showed me I had yet a bit to give. Reluctantly, I stirred and took his hand; He gently lifted me to firmer ground. With his sure help I found a way to stand, To set you free, your spirit homeward bound. I tried to keep you here by force of will; But God had plans which were no part of mine. Your light is strong enough to linger still; God's breath has given it immortal shine. Each night I search the Heavens for new star He promised he would show me from afar. By: Joyce |

The box has been checked for great sentimental value. Evidenced here it is that God has blessed you with much much more to give... I believe, as you have expressed, that we will truly shine as the stars one day. (Amen) Keep your eyes and heart open and it will be as you have written this I am certain. A beautiful write and a wonderful way to remember your loved one. God Bless. -Bob |

Joyce: A wonderful poem and I'm sure your husband would be proud of you and what you have accomplished, in his absence. Your family must also feel that same pride. I am voting for this one. Betty Lou Hebert |

This sure has a lot of melancholy in it. Very well written, and sad, too. |

"...My spirit comatose, could it still live? God pitied me. He touched and found a spark; He showed me I had yet a bit to give...." Sometimes we need a helping hand and are fortunate to be able to recognize it. Lovely poem, Joyce. *s When you think you have heard it all, |

Time is of the essence (and Time is God) and so His Light is immortal and time is immortal, therefore the stars will radiate with His promise! I must be going now but wished to commend you for this marvelous prayer! Stanley Climbfall |

The body of this reverent and poignant poem of faith, hope and love certainly lives up to the promise of its title! You have created a beacon for those who have suffered the loss of loved ones and an inspiration to the rest. Patrick Talty |
