A Prayer for Remembering a Recently-Passed Ancestor

This prayer was said in rememberance of my Great-Aunt Mary.

Oh, how you loved to sing.
Your voice lifted to heaven,
Your heart voicing its joy.

Nothing was greater than that joyful noise.

I remember your laugh.
It was sonorous as well,
rising with such passion.

Nothing touched a soul more deeply than this.

I remember your garden.
Full of growing things,
But more full of love.

Nothing was ever wrong there.

Aunt Mary, I remember you.
Your words and your songs,
your laugh and your garden.

Most of all, I remember you.

You are a light in my life,
A joy I shall always treasure,
A song in my heart.

You helped shape me, as you shaped your garden.

Thank you.
