Yahrzeit Candle for my brother David - Fireflies

* Yahrzeit Candle for my brother
David Richard Greenwold
Died 7-3-87

Often we love the Imperfect Ones
more than others. On the 10th day
of July, we honor the day of your
death. Life had no meaning for you
anymore.

As the candle flickers on my kitchen table
I will share everything I have with you.
My children and grandchildren, my funky music,
the birds that sing unknown melodies that
penetrate to the depths of our souls.

As long as there is me, David,
David Richard Greenwold,
there is you.

FIREFLIES

Tiny dots of light
Can we pack them up
in a sandwich bag
like fireworks
and let them go again?

First spotted them on Saturday night, June 1. Such joy!
