LOVE

Funny thing about love
It pops up at the

Darndest times.

Love helps to remind us

There is a God and

He communicates

In mysterious

Ways

I watched a video
About a young man

Who’d left this earthly plane

Behind

With its splashy instances of
Joy and jubilation
Interspersed with hurdles
That he’d always managed to

Overcome

Until one day he didn’t…

I  watched the video

Absorbing the love within

Each warm and tender

Memory

Grateful to observe

An entire  life exposed

Beautfully

In music and photography

I experienced love, joy

An uplifting of

Spirits

Grateful for having known
This young man

Who’d been joyous

And kind

And missed so much

By so many.
