A Poem for All Saints' Day
For those
who walked with us,
this is a prayer.
For those
who have gone ahead,
this is a blessing.
For those
who touched and tended us,
who lingered with us
while they lived,
this is a thanksgiving.
For those
who journey still with us
in the shadow of awareness,
in the crevices of memory,
in the landscapes of our dreams,
this is a benediction.

This chance to remember and honor those beautiful souls in our lives is a gift I shall cherish. Thank you, John, for sharing this with us.
