"From a Life Lived"



One year...

A space in time only partially understood...

Even with the days and moments counted...

Past seconds linger...

Echoing through life's experience

Memories hold their worth

There is this ever lasting embrace imprinted upon us

Happiness keeps the flame of you alive within us

Even between the moments of silence...

Parts of us still ache...

Mourning everything that is missed and that will never be

Desperately wishing we could dig deeper

To unravel the tangled mess of all those things we will never understand

Because it's always in those odd moments...

When the bittersweet remembrance stirs the feelings within

It floods the body with emotion...

And we realize the beauty within nostalgia...

That even now the tears shed, waters the seed of you

Planted within our heart of love

Still growing with us...

From a life lived...

To the last drops of sand that fell within your hourglass

Leaving your fingerprints upon us

And like a sunflower rising to the sun

You have taught us the best lesson you ever could

To appreciate where you are in your journey, even if its not where you want to be

Gratitude is perspective

Effort put forth is reflective

We carry the power to change the narrative

Life is not about what you die for...

It's about what you have lived for...

Because every season serves a purpose within existence.
