Love Poem: Obituary

Obituary

I wrote an obituary to share my thoughts, the words about a loved one's life and passing. In mourning, I will bury the flesh and remember the existence of a life, to honor and cherish the soul, worldly achievements and love in our hearts. Sadly, all condensed to a paragraph on a page, a short tour of the memories family and friends hold dear. Out of the words, we reflect on the light of a life, one drop in a ray of eternal light. Each letter, a moment, a breath, we must buy. A part of me died, too, and life goes on. I feel the earth...it will still orbit the sun. Days turn to years. Yes, life goes on. I have a child now, a boy, my loved one will never meet on this earth. Perhaps, on this journey, our boat will take us to the otherside where we will all meet one day. Your love lives, I wrote in memoriam. I will always carry your love, a radiance lit within my heart, displayed like the finest, priceless art. For The Word Games Contest (Catie Lindsey)
