AN EMPTY SPOT

There's an empty spot in the world tonight.
A spot that was filled by love.
Filled with passion and joy.
Filled with hope and compassion.
Filled with a smile that lit up the world.......and your heart.

He went home. It was his time.
Home to the spirits from where he came.
From where we all come.
Home to be loved and cherished by all.
Home to be free.
Free from pain, free from worry, free from doubt.
Free to run with the lizards, and fly with the eagles.
To swim with the sharks and hold his own with the crocs.
To watch turtles hatch, to laugh at the penguins walk.

Thank you great spirit, for allowing us time with him.
Time to feel his love, time to experience his abundant joy.
Time with him to care, to cry, to laugh, to hope.

May we all fill that empty place with his memory.
Our hearts miss him, our minds remind us of what now can no longer be.
But we know the great spirit doesn't make coincidences.
So we are thankful for having found the time to know him.
And feel his love, while it was his time to walk among us.
