In the absence of light as we sleep

In the absence of light as we sleep.
From the peaceful resting place of those before us many tears and kneeling have taken place. The spirit and energy of them lives in love among our memories. They can come to us in our dreams and still help us along the way. In our slumber we can walk with them hand in hand and put our focus off of the turmoil that can be Life. They will comfort us not revealing any glorious secrets about the garden that awaits us. When the sunrises on the coming day a silhouette of their stance will slowly fade and they say I'll see you in your dreams. They left us with knowing we have alot of steps still to take. So we build our faith and let God saturate our hearts with the resolve and love that still exists.
