Dear Mother, Sister, Daughter, Wife,

Over 1200 full moons,
and a few truly blue cycled forward
before preparations for you began
after horribly ended

Your life…

A century now we collected in review.

We’ve composed videos, photos, recordings too
to familiarize you with your daughter and her daughter’s sons and daughters, with extended in-laws as family

all excited and here waiting for you.

We remember the tragedy and how it caused us pain. Each night we fought sanity to retain.

The blood suddenly spilled
on our hearts to only maim.

Yet, your child’s welfare was the only real hope to comfort regain.

Then one day
shown us a God cares.

Taught, we were, that of each of us
he was truly aware.

Christ’s resurrection gave us a goal
to serve his Father with whole heart, mind, and soul.

Only then could we really remain
to watch His Son
remove wickedness and sin’s stain.

Then with family and friends
happily rebuild severed ties to repair.

That day arrived after horror’s global seen.

Though, in ‘interior room’s’ gathered
all we could barely hear were screams
as we sang songs of courage to build.

Then silent
the earth
after billions were killed.

When exiting our places of safety
of great victory millions sang.

Around the globe many national groups
streaming tears; this vision already prophesied. To fruition it in trueness came:

“After this I saw, and look!

a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues”.

“And they keep shouting with a loud voice, saying:

“Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.” Rev. 7:9, 10.

Yes, finally, the meek the earth did claim
after learning and loving

to speak about Jehovah’s glorious name
and about the “Good News of God’s Kingdom”
which removed bloodguilt, dishonor and shame.

Now here we are gathered
imbued with joy to reacquaint and bond with you…

dear mother, sister, wife, daughter.

With tears of delight
wine, food and dance.

Your family with you to renew.
Our lives now further to eternity enhanced.
