Shine! Shine!A Poem by papaedWith apologies to Dylan Thomas, I wrote this to my mother one week before she passed.Shine! Shine! Embrace the ravages of time! Fear not the coming of the light, and do not feel the need to fight. Let your body fill with peace, and need, and fear, and pain release. Shine! Shine! Embrace the ravages of time! Feel joyful evidence of your genes, and only review life’s positive scenes. Through life’s travails you stand tall, and your present grace is lesson for all. Shine! Shine! Embrace the ravages of time! Let no anger your demeanor bend and show good will until the end. We place memories upon a shelf, and see your loving, humble, self. Shine! Shine! Embrace the ravages of time! Keep your heart filled with love, and your eyes on evidence above. Keep inner joy upon your face, and let no regret show a trace. Embrace the ravages of time! Shine! Shine! © 2012 papaedReviews
