November - All Saints Day | our reflective space

Time to remember the saints.

The many saints.
We've known them.
We've seen them care.
We've loved each other.
We miss them now.

The old wise ones.
The well-worn ones.
And the very young
Gone before their time.
They opened their hearts
To let all people in.

One day 
It will be our turn
To become ancestors
Whom the young ones 
Will remember
As sources of inspiration.
