There is no night without a dawning
No winter without a spring
And beyond the dark horizon
Our hearts will once more sing .…
For those who leave us for a while
Have only gone away
Out of a restless, care worn world
Into a brighter day.
Helen Steiner Rice

Poems like the Funeral Poem My Mother bring memories of joys shared, love embraced and time spent together.
