I cannot remember when or do I remember how.

What I do remember is your smile

What I do remember is your kind words.

I cannot confess to know your life

For Our lives were like two ships passing on the ocean

But what I can confess to is the kindness of your spirit

It is hard to say what it was about you just that whenever we met

You had a smile a kind word and a voice of encouragement.

You were a guiding light,

A passing blessing, sent to comfort a heart.

So in the end it does not matter How or when I met you

What matter is that I was blessed to have had you in my life

A ship passing in a great ocean, shining a guiding light on my path.

And blessing of joy.

The frill temple may be gone but the spirit that it housed is still here glowing bright

Remaining a guiding light.
