Brighter Side of Darkness

Goodnight sweet Jill..

Godspeed..
It’s time to take your flight..
The brighter side of darkness..
Will guide you through the night..


The sky is now your venue..
A trillion crystal beads..
To string and weave you’re beauty..
Across the star filled sea..


Each night with awe..
We’ll focus..
On stars that cross the sky..
Awaiting for your showcase..
To tantalize our eyes..

Your nimble hands..
For years..
Created steady streams..
Of porcelain creations..
That fostered hopes and dreams..

The joy you shared with others..
Will never be denied..
Your gift remains forever..
A part of many lives..

To understand your efforts..
Would take a genius mind..
The path you climbed to greatness..
Is one far few could climb..

A quiet soul undaunted..
Each breathe a precious food..
Tenaciously you labored..
Despite your tired mood..
A mother and a brother..
Whose love was sweet and taut..
Embolden you to venture..
Beyond what most had thought..

Your life a test of wills..
To manage through a maze..
Of medical uncertainty..
But never were you fazed..

So now we ask you guide us..
And lead us with your heart..
So sadness won’t confuse us..
Nor break our lives apart..

We ask that you inspire..
And share with us your zest..
To live amongst uncertainty..
To strive to be our best..

Your soul will live forever..
For that we know for sure..
We thank you for you presence..
For finding us the door..

The door to understanding..
What life is meant to be..
In spite of all one’s hardships..
Life’s as far as one can see..

The limits you defined..
Extended far beyond..
Your reach will stretch forever..
Across God’s earthly pond..

So now the moments met you..
Where time has changed your plight..
The brighter side of darkness..
Has called you to the light.
