It was a hot summer day bathed in the golden rays of the Sun and with woven chairs set out on an expertly manicured lawn reminding me of the sunshine in your smile. A pair of water wings held securely to your chest with straps and a long slender kayak oar held high in your hands as I snapped a picture before you paddled away in the blue kayak from our resort. The lake was a vast summit of azure blue with ripples of waves hitting the sides of the boat. I waved from the shore seated in my lawn chair as I read a book. Six or seven brown feathered ducks circled my chair with their bills tucked into their tufted wings. I would look up from time to time waving to you until you were out of sight and I could no longer find you. An hour or so later I would see your kayak as you paddled your way to the shore. My duck friends had woken up from their naps and waddled out to the shallow end of the lake quacking as they went as if to say "Thank You." I rejoiced at your return that afternoon so happy to be in the warmth of that golden sun that was your smile. So today when I think of your loss, I think of you floating away into the sunset with your glowing grin so golden and wide. There will be rejoicing and many happy reunions when those you loved and lost see you coming. Dance with abandon, sing with your new found voice. Wait for me for I will meet you someday in the Light of the Golden Son, with water wings carrying me aloft and into His Loving Arms. We will remember that day in our new eternity and sing of all the many sunsets to come. Rejoice, sing and raise our hands. We are home at last and we will have an endless number of days to smile basking in the radiant ever after.
This poem is dedicated to my dear fiancé Maurice who passed away unexpectedly on 7/21/18. We were two months away from our wedding date of Sept 22, 2018. He is greatly missed and my love for him still strong and clothed by my grief at his loss
