Hands

I look at my hands that are wrinkled from age and years of use.

I remember Missy's hands as she, with grace, held the violin and
her gentle hands made the music of the master's, her gentle hands would,
with ease, touch the keys on her flute, and sweet sounds drifted in the air
and filled all of our hearts with pride.

Her hands played with her younger cousins whether playing catch or
having a tea party. Her cousins nickname for her was Little Casper,
as her mother is known as Big Casper.

Her mind and hands held great hope for the future. Maybe these hands would
have designed a great building or guided the minds of children in learning. Maybe
these hands would have been trained to be a skillful surgeon and save the lives of many.

These hands often folded in prayer, as she asked the Lord's guidance for her life.

Today, the music of these hands lays silent, if but for a while, they are silenced.

If possible, Missy would lift those gifted hands to say "Good-bye" to each and
every one of us, if only for a while.

So with love I say "Good-bye" sweet Missy,
if only for a while, and rest in God's love and peace.

Dearest Mom and Dad

When you wonder the meaning of life and love
Know that I am with you
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you
In the gentle breeze across your cheek
When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again
Quiet your mind and hear me
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love
When you lose your identity
When you question who you are
and where you are going
Open your heart and see me
I am the twinkle in the stars smiling down upon you
Lighting the path for your journey
When you awaken each morning not remembering your dreams
But feeling content and serene
Know that I am with you
Filling your nights with thoughts of me
When you linger in the remnant pain
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar
Think of me
Know that I am with you
Touching you through shared tears of a gentle friend
Easing the pain
As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky
In that breathtaking brilliance, awaken your spirit
Think of our time together, all too brief, but ever brilliant
When you are certain of us together
When you are certain of your destiny
Know that God created that moment in time
Just for us
I am with you always
