Keeper of the Flame

I am the keeper of the flame
When others hesitate to . . .
I say your name.
I am the teller of the tale
Words spoken calmly
While inside I wail.
My tears are a stream in which memories swim
While I have breath
Your light will not dim.
For some it is hard to speak of you
For me it is hard not to.
I am the keeper of the flame
I never hesitate to say your name.

God Flower Garden

It’s hard to lose the ones we love.
To see them pass away.
The sweetest and the kindest gone.
While others are left to stray!
But if we had a garden With roses fair and bright.
We’d often pick the loveliest And thank it to be right
And so it is with Jesus In His earthly garden here.
He often picks the fairest flowers.
The one we love so dear.
The flowers that are picked by Him Will never fade away.
