Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 28th day of December, 2016.
Our weather has warmed yesterday and for today and the next few to follow.
My thoughts as of late are to all of those wonderful souls that have passed during this past year.
Some have been famous.
Some have been family.
Some have been friends.
Some you know and some you do not.
They made us laugh.
They shared their lives, their stories.
They will always be with us in the air that we breathe, and in all that surrounds us.
Their stories will continue in us.
To all of those who are missing your mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, friends, grandparents, beloved fur-babies: pups and kitties, you are in my thoughts.
I wrote this poem almost twenty years ago.
I would like to give this a tribute to all those wonderful spirits we have said goodbye to in 2016.
BEYOND THE SUNSET
The sun melts into hues of gold and pink,
as the sky darkens.
A peaceful sigh, as she closes her eyes.
She sees the roses in her garden.
The fragrance soft but strong in the air.
She sees her children and theirs.
She feels her husband’s touch.
She remembers times gone by.
It has been a great life!
She is not afraid,
The time has come.
The Lord extends his hand,
And she follows him home.
