Spirits Remaining

alive and vibrant in their spirits
one moment all smiles and the next
gone leaving us wondering why
looking for answers to bring light
for their smiles and spirits bright

wondrous creatures in their spirits
teaching life lessons in the moment
imparting words of wisdom to us
leaving us to look for the light
for their smiles and spirits bright

amazing we had them amongst us
to give all the love that they had
now angels watching ‘oer families
brilliantly shining radiant light
spirits remaining shining ever bright

I have thought the past few days if I should write something for these souls taken from life and from families in such tragic events for it is difficult even for so many of us who do not know, and yet we do, these people who were caught up in another’s troubled life, only to become part of it in the end.  I can relate as a mother, grandmother and one who loves to teach and see others learn.  These are but a smattering of my thoughts as my heart goes out to those in Connecticut.

Heart Gifts

Scent of pine hanging                                      
fragrant in the air a
reminder in finding
gifts of the heart a
love to encompass all
who cross our paths
with spirits yearning
a New Year to start
