Ruth is a beautifully written and very deeply felt poem that speaks of the passage of time which feels like forever when we are young, but moves quickly when we are older. It is a very endearing reflection. Someone is very loved and dearly missed with each passing hour. I always believe loved ones that pass are standing next to us in a different realm and hear us talking to them and praying for them. They keep us company when we feel lonely and isolated. They are with us.
God bless you and your sorrow and keep you ever faithful and hopeful.🙏🏼
Derek thank you for reposting
Only Love Prevails.
I can’t bring them back again
Those moments I hold fast in memory
Dear ones dancing in my dreams
Still reaching out to me
When Spring has come and gone again
And brilliant Summer pales
And Fall sets sail in frosty winds
Only love prevails
No, I can’t change the flow of time
Though sometimes I’ve wished that I could
But my heart shall bind up all loose ends
And keep them mine for good
So let us recall some old songs
And sing them out around the fire
And hail once more our loved ones before
The hour that we retire
When Spring has come and gone again
And brilliant Summer pales
And Fall sets sail in frosty winds
Only love prevails

Denise, I believe and feel the same thing.
Thank you for sharing this poem with us, and belated condolences for your loss.
Thank you
A lovely poem Allan. Grief stays with us, reminding us of the wonders of loving someone.
Yes, the wonders of loving someone.
Thank you Allan. Simply beautiful.
Derek you are correct. Also please never feel embarrassed for sobbing at your mother's funeral. I did the same at my mother's funerals.
