This poem was written for a much loved cousin but is equally true of every friend and family member we have known who has died. May it bless you.
They leave a trail of love in your heart when they go,
Each one adding together to the many others
Who sing and dance and leave a path of memories in your mind,
Till the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Wrapped in a special golden energy
Their images dance within you
Flashes of kindness, sadness, special words and deeds,
All meaningful, important somehow, precious,
Come back at unexpected moments,
Tip over into every day feelings,
Run riot with happiness and grief,
Blend your mood with loss and remembering,
Yet touch your life with an urgency
To live
To feel
To dance
To express
To be
Something,
Anything
More than what you have been.
Whilst there is still time
Live
Laugh
Love
Be
Present
Now
And recognise
The sacred space
That is your life
And always remember
How they have touched you
How they have helped you
How they have loved you too.
