For my Aunt Lea



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! =)
    Empathy 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.
