The power of love

The power of love

By Afrodite aka Rose

I went to say good bye to you today

as in that cold coffin your body laid.

I cried tears that ran down my face as I

remember events from back in the day.

I was standing there watching your

family members grieving and in pain

but I felt something

very strange I felt your  presence

it came over me like a tidal  wave.

A tidal wave in the form of goose bumps.

I realized at that very moment

that we weren't saying bye to

you, you were saying bye to each one of

us. Your body was being lowered into the

ground but your spirit was all around.

Some knew you at the end of your life and

Some knew you at the beginning, others

throughout your life. You

were a daughter, sister, a cousin a wife,

a mother,

an aunt a grandmother and even a great

grandmother to many, but most of all

you were a friend and loved by a multitude

of friends and family. Your body is gone that

is true, this  fact is what makes those

who love you sad and blue but they

don’t understand the miracle that happened

 some got it in form of goose bumps

they thought it was sadness, but it was the

power of love touching our hearts as

you spread your wings making your

way to heaven. Loved ones never really

go away it just feels that way because we

can’t touch them hug them or speak to them

like we did day by day. I can’t speak for

everyone but as for me I’m grateful to have

been touched by the power of love today.
