I am glad I am here,
to remember you.
In recalling our time together
there were many joys.
There were also times of sorrow
we shared in those times.
We had something very special
in the friendship we shared.
It has been many years
since you passed on
still I think of you
each day
and remember.

One day
We will walk the path of light.
Unsure if our Lord will be pleased with us.
Will we be met with an embrace of Love
or will we see disappointment in the Face of our Saviour?
Least we forget the gifts of our Lord.
Will we be judged
on how we shared His gifts?

Sometimes a tear comes to my eye.
At first, I know not why.
Then it comes
the links of the past.
Moments of tenderness
of love
that seen imprinted
forever in my soul.
It has not been with so much as one
but many
in the links together
in a chain of life.
Some moments were of extreme sadness
some joy beyond belief
some with the surprise of a child
in discovering something.
A light ignited within me
that before, was not there.
It was just a moment
a look into the eyes of another
that said that these few seconds
were very special.
A touch unlike no other.
The tear is for the longing of such moments
and time spend
in just loving another
in those special ways
that will never go away.

There are times
that reaching back in our memories
is the only way we can attempt
to rediscover happiness in our present lives.
As hard as we try
those memories remain swirling mists
from the times of our fleeing youth
never felt again
nor tasted.
We cry out in an agony of painful want
but find no release.
Could this place in our lives
be but a preview
of an unending terrible hell?
We are only left with an undisclosed fear
that possibly a heaven does not exist,
but is a creation of imagination
out of our own fears.
“Is this all there is?” we whisper
in a silent room in our minds.
Only by our prayers
to our Lord
prior to our earthly deaths
will we find joys beyond the ones
we have experienced in this world.
We will find glorious happiness in another world
by the promises of His Word.
Upon that moment
let what was my blinded eyes
in the temporary joys of this world
be opended again
to the eternal glory of His Name.
