Those you have lost,
they are at peace now
in the memories of the joy
and the love they shared with you.
Love brings both sublime happiness
and excruciating pain,
but happiness and joyful memories
will sustain you as you journey on
through the challenges and struggles of life.
Memories of love will brighten your spirit
and make your burdens bearable.
True love will never be forgotten.
The greater the loss, the greater the love,
the greater the memories.
The memories of that love
will be your companion and the source
of your tears of happiness.
Which way shall I take the course to my reader’s hearts,
What scale and tools do I collect with,
What voyeur’s wrap I claim in readiness.
Are the ages of my father come to bear,
Or will be for next generation’s benefit:
And for sure hope luck to smile a lot,
Unless I weaken in devotion,
That I harbor this pretext,
Where course is subject to a wanton age.
Gather, flock with us; examine all to beyond:
Valiant person have surpassed our time.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
What scale and tools do I collect with,
What voyeur’s wrap I claim in readiness.
Are the ages of my father come to bear,
Or will be for next generation’s benefit:
And for sure hope luck to smile a lot,
Unless I weaken in devotion,
That I harbor this pretext,
Where course is subject to a wanton age.
Gather, flock with us; examine all to beyond:
Valiant person have surpassed our time.
Be safe,
Karen
