Happy Holiday

This post has absolutely nothing to do with the garden, but everything to do with where my heart is today~

Happy holiday to the one I love

who all too soon has gone before

Today we celebrate apart

but you're within my heart forevermore

Happy holiday to the one I love

I keep you in my thoughts

So glad your suffering is now past

though your presence I recall.

Happy holiday my very dear one

I know that yours is bright

I pray that God will shine on me

and help me make mine right

Happy holiday to you always

as these days that pass us by

are fleeting, rare, and precious

I will see you again in time

Happy holiday to you and I

now and forevermore

and until the day that I

come to knock on heaven's door -

I will hold your memory tight

and with everything, all my might

I will celebrate your life

my joy, my love, my light

by,

Lisa Lipka, to honor the memory

of those we live without but think of always
