Remembering
The door has closed
And you have gone away
Leaving recollections
Of shared laughter
Floating across sunny days
Static we stay
In a sad house of life
Prisoners of reality
But we must learn
The laughter and the light
Are all great gifts
Painted in joie de vivre
Those are prizes
That we must grasp
At this moment
Loving memories
And even now
On this sad day of mourning
So many souls
Here and now
Will feel and know
That we will meet again,
That doors will open
Making loss illusion
Then this hour
That is so real today
Will pass, healed by time
Strengthened by love,
Served by compassion
Lifted by understanding
