Repetition of the Name

April 8, 2011

I too have known the inconsolable pain

When one for whom I lived and loved was gone

Never to be seen or heard again

And felt my life and m life's work undone.

If only we could see this truth unfold

That when Death comes a new birth is begun.

No soul is left to face the endless cold

Of space and time but walks towards the sun

No more must grief accompany our days

No longer shall we live without the flame

But in our growing gratitude find praise

In the constant repetition of the Name.
