Life is cyclical, like a circle
Interlocked and intertwining
The blessings, the lessons, and stressing
Go on and on until it’s gone
There is no rewinding
You see, time stops for no one, man, woman or child
We live, we learn, we lose, we earn
We cry and then we smile
Generational patterns are cyclical, like a circle
They can continue to repeat
Be created or recreated, changed, broken or ceased
Day by day we see these cycles because of the foundation you laid
Each one teach one in our village
Hard work will pave the way
I promise to continue to love you
To never ever forget how amazing, powerful, determined and strong you were and will be yet again
Now you are my guardian angel
As you have always been
Although you are no longer Earth side, you do get to meet God again
Thank you for loving me way before I loved or knew myself
You showed me what love was by caring for everyone else
All of the people around you feel happiness and love
A kind of strained peace, a deep disruption and a new connection to above
As you ascend on high, gain your wings and say hello to God
I will try to be strong for everyone but you know it’s a façade
You mean so much to me, you were such a big part of my life
Will life go on the same? No way!
One moment at a time
The pain is almost stifling
It hurts too much to cry
But thankfully you were blessed with many, many years
To influence our family’s generations, even humans who do not yet exist
You were, you are forever, always in my heart
The sounds of your voice, your sneeze, your laughter resound on in my mind
As I submerse into sadness, grief and a pithy, dark time
I am and will always be completely submerged and entwined
In your love, your memories, your legacy, your family for your family is mine.
I’ll hold the family down and always be me. Speak up for the voiceless and help my community.
I will strive to make you proud. Keep my head up, and make good choices.
You told me how and what a good human should be.
As you rest eternally in love and peace…
I will demonstrate to the world the good human you’ve made of me.
