Walking and crying.
crying and walking.
The longer it went on
the more we didn’t know
what to pray for:
a healing or a release.
But now you are home
with the God of your understanding
and the Christ of your raising.
And while we keep
your seat at the table
and tell your stories,
we take comfort knowing
how deeply you are loved
here and there, and in the
peace and lightness
that are now so rightly yours
even though your wisdom,
courage and faith,
your gratitude and true humility,
the person you were and
will forever be in our hearts,
is so sorely missed.
It is no mistake that today
the first daffodils have begun
to bloom and flare
where the eagles nest
and raise their young
by the mighty James.
