The Bridge of Dreams

Can any man say he is not beholding to Well from which life flows?

My wifes Father

Harold Milligan

Passed away 4/20/ 2023

Coming to us no more but in dreams

those who passed on going their ways

While we who love them stay behind

to face a lifetime of empty days

____________________________________

In our dreams they cross the bridge

spanning breadth of time and space

There we meet again with them

to touch a well worn beloved face

___________________________________

Called to by the voice of St Peter

they can only stay a short while

But nothing better for the soul

than to walk and talk a mile 

 _____________________________

We the heirs of their precious dreams

go forth to face the human race

Being all they had hoped we would

sharing with them this living grace

_________________________________

Skipping along meter by meter

we dance to life's endless tune

Singing and chanting around the fire

beneath the gaze of the Harvest Moon

___________________________________

Passing the dreams of each generation

onto the next souls in our line

We carry with us their undying love

for a life sweet, gentle and divine

Out of a troubled sea of bad sometimes one good thing to comes out of tragic events. The cherished memories of those lost, spur us to be better people, to live up to their memory.

A beautifully written tribute to a man you both loved and admired. A moving write.

..' Speaking words of wisdom, and in my hour of darkness...let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be..and when the broken heart...there is still a light that shines on me...'

Your song choice is heart-rending and fits your loving tribute to your son-in-law extremely well.


'...Passing the dreams of this generation onto the next souls in our line

Our loved ones become ever more eternally present to us in our hearts!

[Tate Morgan]

They are the essence of beauty and treasure on earth .We are all a link in a unbroken chain of lives trailing back at least 40,000 generations .Each the heir of the hopes and dreams of the combined humanity that lives within us

I"m new to the cafe so I don't know when your family endured this loss but your poem was a beautiful tribute.
