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

Beautiful words...

Nothing in the world prepares us for the loss of a loved one. One so young that must be devastating. The spirit cannot die! The sheer loss of the physical presence is the hardest part to deal with . My deepest sympathy ! God Bless!

Another wonderful tribute. He was so young and I'm sure his loss has such a devastating impact on your family and friends. Your words for him and his journey I hope give comfort to you and those that have been touched by his short time on earth. Bless you...
