Quiet now

[rickp43]

Be quiet for a moment.

My sister has but a few left

Here, with us.

Listen.

It's the song of her soul

About to fly free.
I went to my garden and
Gathered a small bouquet.
My garden where
We sat and laughed.

Tonight,
When stars light the heavens,

They will be one richer

For our loss,
Their gain.

Such love and light,

All our gathered spirits,

Attend her, hold her,

This is such a beautiful heartfelt tribute. I just remembered how much I used to enjoy your emails because of your beautiful writing. You need to write more - such a talent not to uses.

This isn't easy being here but it's where we want to be. We feel your presence through this poem.

Thanks so much. I love you,

Marianne

She is in my prayer, you and Jack and your family are there too. Your words are beautiful, as they always are, and full of love and such honor for your sister. I have a tiny balcony garden and I will be spending a lot of time there tonight, quietly, with you in my heart.
