I remember

I remember you, the friends and moments that have impacted upon me,
the sacred times, were time is frozen in my minds eye,
a divine photo....which will remain with me....

I remember you, the smiles and laughter that will never fade,
the retelling of the stories, which bring joy to my heart,
re-encountering that special moment....

I remember you, my family...the journey we began together,
the tears and heartache, the silent look which expressed a thousand words,
the gentle embrace that reminds me of our earthly bond.....

I remember you, who held me during the darkness of my life,
the eternal waiting for me to wake to its longing,
to embrace the divine, God, that great mystery,
that never forgets.......
