Stillness

Eternal lights flicker

In a distant sky.

Where have you gone;

Why did you die?

When I first saw you,

You stole my heart,

And until this awful day,

We have never been apart.

I look to the heavens,

Hoping to see you anew.

Where have you gone?

I’m searching for you.

My painful cries

Fill the dark of night.

I need your arms

To hold me tight.

Where have you gone?

Show me the place

So I can once again see

The smile on your face.

We met life’s challenges

And somehow made it through.

But how do I do it

Alone without you?

I know you are in my heart,

But I long to see your face.

Memories of yesterday

Leave only a trace.

There’s emptiness now

That nothing can fill.

I so need to find you

So I, too, can be still.

Ways to keep them close

Words like these often stay with us long after the funeral. Some families also find comfort in a keepsake at home: an urn, a cuddle stone to hold, or jewellery with a little of their ashes inside.
