Like leaves upon the water
Drifting into yesterday,
Like Monet's water lilies
In a misty mirrored sky,
They blossom for a moment
But eventually die.

Reclining in a row boat
On a ghostly painted lake,
The flowers fade and vanish
In the gently swirling wake,
Just a silver sad reflection
Of a painting that I knew,
Like a half forgotten daydream

Like dancers on a curtain
When their movements meet the light,
And each movement masqueraded
With such symmetry and grace,
Every dream that ever wandered through
The smile upon your face.

Then the wine glass that you lifted
Shone with such a crimson fire,
Like the ruby tinted renaissance
Of dreams that we desire,

Her service is this Friday and this is a poem I wrote to share at her funeral:

Let me live in your heart:

Please don't shed many tears

For I am at peace

I feel no pain or sorrow

The lord came to me and told me he was ready

For me to join his promise land

I graciously took his hand

You can be at peace to know

Memories of an earlier time in my life,
occupied with anything but strife.
Childhood days, I shouldn't have got a day older,
seems like each "I dare you" act was bolder.

Jumping from a railroad trestle into the sand below,
one time my legs forgot which way to go.
Landed very solidly upon my rump,
