I wrote this when a group birthday announcement was posted honoring my late aunt's birthday. She passed away when I was 20 of cancer leaving behind her two teenage children. She was loved very much - not just by me but by everyone. Aunt Lorinda was a bit of a free spirit.
For Aunt Lorinda on her birthday
I'll see you behind the curtian -
across the great divide -
past the last bend in the road -
among the hosts you'll hide -
Where souls take breathless flight
and love envelopes all who travel there.
Where ended is life's hardscrabble fight,
with sorrows you no longer bear.
Freedom from pain and misery,
Cherish the incredible mystery,
God gives new life divine,
across the great divide.
