words are bells
let them ring!

if these are the last

may they be gentle.Each moment stolen
has a bread fresh baked freshness/sweet
the song that soothes the child/lullabye farewells
as we boat river float away.To leave is always/ever
Hard to stay/farewells and departures/wave fond goodbye
Stacks of photographs to be returned before your eyes close
This belongs to you,too!It was found at the scene of your departure
when you left behind you parts of us(attached like strings to kites
Higher you may be-we are grounded creatures/envy flight and freedom
and the friendship time has with eternities.Above you now(and within
you sing internally-release the hands that hold you close
let go into an unknown sea,and launch the ship of your soul
into these calm deep tears.Smiles ,too,as we remember you
when you were wild and free among us.We are what we remember mostly
it is what you shared with us-wit,wisdom,joy,happiness
Please take them with our love in return
Your life=our lesson to learn.
FOR DR MARVIN KIMBROUGH
