A Service of Remembrance

Three lights to remember the lost tonight,

Remember love they shared
With those of us who miss them still,
The ones for whom they cared.
 
The little moment meant to ease
A pain that hasn’t past,
But, though their body is now gone,
Their flame of love will last.
 
And so we burn them in the night
To light their memory,
To see again, with our mind’s eye,
The loved ones we can’t see.
