a precious gift


The Lord says
you are a precious gift, a precious jewel
but so
that one gone
from physical presence
is …
a hidden treasure
deep within our hearts

Joy and sadness
intermingled
memories flooding

Friends and family
far far away
cannot reach
nor touch
nor talk
but in our minds
we go back
to a time shared
and we are thankful.
