Love Shines Through

This short poem of remembrance and love is a very popular choice for funerals and memorial services. The words celebrate the love for someone who has died that is preserved in our memories of them.

Like a shadow in the moonlight
Like the whisper of the seas
Like the echoes of a melody
Just beyond our reach
In the shadow of our sorrow
Past the whisper of goodbye
Love shines through eternity
A heartbeat from our eye
