Forever Remembered

We are gathered together in her memory.



If you seek her memorial, 
look about you:
it’s in the hearts of her family,
in the faces of her children,
in the writings and in her home.



Life has been given 
and life has been taken away.
Life and death are one,
even as the river and the sea are one.



Death is only a horizon,
and a horizon 
is but the limit 
of our sight.



Since we know nothing of death
except that it comes to all,
it is not reasonable to be sad
for the people who has died.



The sorrow 
that once I felt for myself,
in my loss,
now has been transformed 
to a rich memory
of a woman I loved 
and the ways 
we traveled through the world together.
