Today I extract the memories with care
Perhaps this year they’ll be easier to share
Memories
vivid and valued
fragile and fading
precious and painful
But once they lay on the table before me
adequate words to express them simply flee
So I enfold each one in love anew
and tuck it gently away from view
There is a place deep inside
where these treasures will always reside
A place where grief and grace meet
the rhythm of this mother’s heart beat.
Such a beautiful poem, Charis.
