Excavating fossils of the heart from the dust that settles over a non forgotten past
Heirlooms house the memory of the shape of your love like pieces to a puzzle in my mind
A snapshot of these sentiments in objects that are but common to a passerby
But priceless for the bond that they commemorate
Fashioning beauty in the structure of these thoughts that frame your essence
You are a lingering perfume deep in the recesses of a silent serenade
Set like a cadence in the undertone of my life that chases after your God fearing legacy
Praying I live in such a way I do justice the bloodline of true worship
A call and mantle finds me at odds with myself as I reflect on you
As I put my life on trial to weigh myself on the scales of how I measure up
Unconditional as your love ever was and so is to this day
To know your heart is to know exactly what you’d say
Three years gone by and somehow it seems you’re not so far away
When you are the sunlight that dawns in mind amid every sky of gray
Pulled back into a place I remember who I am when I think of you
Because of the way you raised me in truth and instilled in me true virtue
Gratitude and loss intermingled of joy and sorrows coinciding harmony
Some days it still feels like just a bad dream I’m waiting to wake from and other days I’m reminded this is reality
Yet temporal the ache that yearns for the embrace of your touch
When I think of you awaiting us on the other side of the tides of eternity
I set sail to voyage onward to destination home again
Praying heaven surely waits for me…
