Once Upon a Time..

Once upon a time, there was us...  

Young and free. Carefree and safe from the worlds harm and its all grief. Engrossed with children’s things and children’s play. Happy feet and full bellies.

We could have been anything we dared to imagine, even that beyond the scope of our dreams. But now, after years that were unkind to us both, you are gone.

We chose different paths you and I, although to be fair there were only two paths to choose; one of self inflicted pain and the other of Godly healing and self discovery.

And now I am now left wondering where along the way we left you behind? At which point exactly could we have picked you up, if ever we had such a chance.

I wishes and what could have been have slipped from me, in the very same way water slips through one’s fingers. What is left is the cold harsh reality that six feet below the earth, your body lies stiff and cold together with all your hopes and dreams and everything else you could have been.

But the promise of eternal life ignites comfort in my heart; that though your body lies in darkness, your soul rests in God’s arms, a better place than what you left behind.

And when all is said and done or there is little much left to say, the only thing that makes sense to be said is rest in peace and  until we meet again at those glorious pearly gates.
