Once again our earthly journey
Separating from the loving womb of mother
We take our first breath of life, of God’s breath
And we remember
The love and purity of the heavens
The perfection and Oneness of All
With our cry, our journey of life,
Of life’s joys and struggles begins
And remembrance slowly fades
But never totally gone
Throughout the joys and struggles
The joys of family and friends
Of pets, music and the delights of life
There are the struggles
Ones that may strengthen our spirit
The turbulence of life, the cares and sorrows
That hang heavy over our heart
the grief and sorrow of death
But we remember at certain times
the love and perfection
Times when we gaze into the eyes of loved ones
The closeness of family and friends
The sounds of laughter, the playful glee of children, the innocence of a baby
Freshly falling snow may bring remembrance
As may the first blossom of spring
A visit by hummingbird, the beauty of butterfly
The first star of night
The mystery and beauty of nature
Our remembrance is of our heart and soul
Of the starlight eternal
Remember, Remember, Remember
Then it is time, the heavens call
A time to return
Return to the purity of heavenly love
To the perfection and oneness of heaven
In the heavens a star shines brighter
To the ones we leave behind,
Know that you are loved
And know… You are never alone
