Memories

For all those loosing loved ones,

help them spread their wings to fly.

A new morn is awakening

you will see them by and by.

For those who still have loved ones near,

heed others’ pain you see;

your compassion and supportive love

engage your humanity.

For all too oft’ possessions call

as prizes to be gained;

and when you leave, an empty shell

is all that will remain.

Use wisely moments here for you,

temper all with truth and mirth;

‘cause memories left in living minds

reflect your life on Earth.
