"We Remember Moments"

These moments now embrace us bittersweet...

We have now learned about the fragile and slender thread...

Which separates life and death

It's that breath taking suddenness...

As this new reality hits...

All that has come before this seems irrevocably broken...

Heads hang in mourning...

Sorrow is the price and debt we owe for loving you so much

Grief is the tax we pay for having the privilege of sharing in your life

What a strange and heavy burden the bonds of love lay upon our hearts

Yet, we carry the heaviness...

Like soldiers standing honour

You taught us this...

In remembrance you now live

Celebrating the dear and treasured memories past

Tears well and fall...

Our shapeless pieces of prayer whisper to you

There is no right time that we would have set for parting with you

Our hearts are ingrained with these moments of existence

Embracing our soul...

To the coming of day

For we, your legacy carry on

Living the seasons

Each morning at day break

Through the stillness in the deep of winter white

And the birth of spring coming

For death has not extinguished all of the light...

It has only turned them out because dawn has come...

Missing you won't be easy

But this we must do...

For we are here...

And you are there...

Now bigger than the sky

And underneath the moon

Forever and always watching over us

And the land where your crops once grew...
