To the Sea

We come because water sings the song of your heart

It is right that our goodbyes rest here

For all that has been

thank you

For all you mean to us

thank you

And for the ways we carry you in our hearts

thank you

From water you have come

To water we return you

in peace

in hope

and with so very much love

until we meet again.

In memory of my beloved uncle, who passed away July 24, 2023.
