SPECIAL LIGHTS AND LOVE
In my life
there have been
very few special people
who touched me very deeply
even though briefly.
They touched my spirit,
with theirs;
knew them well
the first time we met.
They represent to me,
the finest things
of the human spirit.
They are like rainbows,
and beautiful sunsets,
touching all around them
with their very special light
and love.
Joan comments, "This poem talks about some of those extra-ordinary people I met after my husband died. It was actually written with two very special people in mind. One was a hospice patient I was with just days before her death. The other was a person I gave a eulogy for at her memorial service."
