In Loving Memory

Title: In Loving Memory

Author: Quacklebush

I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow flowers and butterflies

In summers the have been of yellow leaves and gossamer

in autumns that there were

with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair

I sit beside the fire and think

of how the world will be when Christ shall come and bring a new born spring

that we shall surely see

for there are so many things

that I have never seen in every wood, in every spring

there is a different green

I sit beside the fire and think

of all the ones I know

and people who shall see a world

that God will let us know

but all the while I sit and think

of times there were before

I listen for returning feet

and voices at the door
