LOVE IS TIMELESS

With their last breath those

we love do not say good-bye--

for love is timeless.

Instead, they leave us a solemn promise

that when they are finally at rest in God,

they will continue to be present to us

whenever they are called upon.

Let us fear not,

or grieve beyond

letting go the departure

of those we have greatly loved,

for in the Tree of Life

their roots and ours are forever intertwined.
