(23 Jan 2013 -- Today a much loved member of our Family passed beyond Earthly cares. She now resides with the Angels, and lives in our memories and Hearts. We will miss her loving ways, smile, warmth, and humor.

MORE THAN WORDS - TEARS

 

There are times when Tears have not words.

 

Tears flow at birthings, graduations, weddings, divorce, and for the last breath.

Tears show the depth of joy, the acuteness of pain, hope for the future, and regret for the past.

 

Tears flow for what has gone and can never more be.

Tears show the depth of love and caring in those left behind, for those whose memory are kept alive in Heart and Mind.

 

Tears flow when the Mind remembers and the Heart fills to overflowing.

Tears show not just an eye drop of water, but a Heart full of emotion.

 

Tears flow to humble the Heart in prayer, and bend the knee in supplication.

Tears show not just a droplet upon the cheek, but an ocean swell upon a Heart.

 

Tears flow for the path of grief, of change and loss that awaits.

Tears show springing forth from a memory, and bring those gone from us, back.

 

There are tears, freshened by memory, which clear the vision, and hold those gone from us, close.
