Today an Angel was born
in hope transformed
from woman and daughter
to memories
Hollow arms, empty
crave for her warmth
they stretch, defeated
in search of her presence
Patches of laughter
echo through silence
in light and shadow
her energy is captured
Forever young
Forever loved
Forever
Angel
—
For Nancy and Paul, who lost their daughter Heather.
She is now reunited with her brother Declan.
Much love,
Marion

~
his long walk on earth
has finally ended
Nelson Mandela
now lingers in heaven
and it is up to us
to you and me
to follow in his footsteps
to continue
find new ways
and lead
over the rim
to freedom
~
Rest in Peace

Life dresses
in many layers
as daughter
best friend
lover and
mother
but then
one by one
these sheets of life
are stripped away
until nothing’s left
but the bare core
the essence
the soul
flies
~
For Lia Daenen, co-worker and friend – Rest In Peace, sweetheart.
