I raise the lid and place my hand on your crossed ones, over a heart that used to beat.
I prepared you, your eyes unseeing now but the world able to see you in you Glass Coffin.
These hands in former times labored with Dignity, Respect, Sweat,and Anguish,
Are the hands that moved you, and held you, and prepared you as a Bride for her wedding,
Or a child for it's Communion and Confirmation.
Holds your Heartbeat,
And Remembers.
The face like a Pink Carnation and the Raven Hair and Eyes, those Eyes like twin novas,
and that smile like the Sun.
We took The Walk and in the grey and lifeless Stone Gardens all you gazed upon regained
It's Color, and then was grey again as you closed your eyes as we knelt by the Forgotten.
And I looked in your Eyes and saw Resurrection for this tired and lifeless Man.
What you thought looked down upon you was what lived on in you.
From a distance I told you I Loved You, and you said I know.
Through tears you never saw I told you I think of you always.
You said you think of me too.
Sleep in Peace my Angel. I will remember those we Adopted. Iclose the lid and as long as I
live you will be with me in the Glass Coffin Of My Heart, and when I stand before the Light
Of The World I will remember you still.
And I will tell Those who come after me that at Dawn, as they see the Light shine on the
horizon, it is not the sun but your Smile.
