This very moment my Aunt Lea
Is walking down the path
Heading towards that next place
Held in the love of those she's touched
The youngest of three sisters and a brother
Lou, Jean and Pam
Lots of family, many gathered around now
Others on the way
I'm here, across the country
Yet all I need do is remember her
Feel her in my heart
And I'm right beside her
Our toes on the edge
Wriggling in the sand
Looking in her eyes
With everyone else
A smile and squeeze of the hand
I'll sit between worlds with her
Knowing she's not going far
When she takes that final step over
Good journey Aunt Lea
Good journey
I love you
Your nephew Art
Intended in the most appropriate sense: Congratulations to Aunt Lea on the promotion! =)
ReplyDeleteEmpathy and prayers toward the loss/separation felt by the family. I experienced this moment related to a friend myself during September. Feelings are understood.
Great photo, Art.
A beautiful tribute to your Aunt Lea, Art - I'm sure it will be treasure by those who are struggling with losing her. Thanks for the beauty of your photo, and your words . . .
