In This Room
by Frank Elkins ©2013

In this room where you once slept,
did the dreams of your life once unfold –
Into the world and lives of others…
Your children’s care,
your family’s love,
your friend’s endeavor.

In this room where you once kept,
the magic Love that always consoled –
You cured the sick and fed the hungry…
Broken hearts mended,
lost souls found,
empathy and compassion.

In this room where you once wept,
sorrowful tears of suffering untold –
You overcame life’s tragic story…
Trials and tribulations,
heavy burdens born,
truth and connotation.

In this room where your life crept,
you softly entered Heaven’s Glory –
Leaving us with tender memories…
No longer in this room,
does your soul remain and linger,
for in our hearts you now reside…

… for all eternity.
