Life

As things have been difficult for many lately, this is what has been running through my head as of the last few days. It may not be much, but it is what I have to offer.

The Continuum 

In sadness there is healing, not easy but necessary.

Memories, both happy and sad,

Should be reminisced to bring to light perspective.

The past cannot be changed but only remembered

And this concept is difficult to grasp.

How we deal with the past will dictate our future,

But our future need not be made worrisome by

 what is done, and cannot change.

We need to cherish the present for what it is,

Just that. a glorious gift.

Life is a gift and to live one is a privilege,

That may not be granted fully or at all.

In its simplicity and overwhelming complexity

Life proves that there are joys and terrors,

That we have no means to comprehend without faith.

Death in particular,

is often looked at as a burden and a terror,

While the reality is neither. It is merely a part of the life

Granted in the first place: in life there is death.

There is relief in death, a celebration of a life lived.

Pain and suffering cease and healing can begin again

A spirit remains within those left behind, as a reminder

That a life lived is blessed by the ones it touched.

Sadness is often the most difficult emotion,

to overcome when death is involved,

but in sadness there is healing.

More memories will be made.

Babies are born.

Children grow.

Happiness and joy will be shared!

Sorrows will be present,

But generations will flourish on.

Family will remain the roots that feed

The mighty tree of life.

The hurt may but only dull, but

Those that have left us have not left forever,

As their Earthly presences will continue to guide

And bring those still here together.

In sadness there is healing.

Joy will prevail, because those gone,

And those with us, provide what we need

To live our own lives to the fullest.
