Q . . .

As we who remain
Walk slowly up the hill
We see the red cardinal
Sitting on a stone

Our sadness is still
Our quiet tears fall

As we contemplate
The life we miss
Our hearts do not accept
The missing voice

Our sadness is new
Our sorrow tender

The echo of your voice
The sound of your laugh
The look in your eyes
The delight of new things

Our sadness is tempered
Our hope is renewed

As we see the light afar
We hope for the day ahead
You are in the breeze
You are in the sky

The veil is thin
Time disappears

The children build their Cairns
Of stones, flat and rounded
The deer move through the trees
The red fox runs by

We are not alone
We are watched over

You are not alone
You are watched over

The blue stone is in your pocket
The clover flowers
The softness of sorrow
Is tempered by that surety

All is well
All is well
