IN MEMORIAM©

**********


There you are
high up and far away.
Your light is shining:
you are a star.
But you're more.
You're the grandfather
of our friend,
and a dear person to him.

That day the sun took you with her
behind the horizon
where the light will shine for ever.
Your dearest stay behind
with a sky
full of memories.

Your light went off,
but you're still shining!
We are touched
and warm ourselves
onto the light of your soul.

------TRANSLATED IN DUTCH------

Daar ben je dan
hoog en ver.
Je straalt heel mooi,
Je bent een ster.
Maar je bent meer:
je bent een vriend
en een dierbaar persoon voor ons.

De zon nam je die avond mee
achter de einder,
waar het altijd licht is.
Je dierbaren blijven achter
met een sterrenhemel
vol herinneringen.

Je licht ging uit,
je stralen schijnen door.
We zijn er door geraakt
en warmen ons nu aan
het schijnsel van je ziel.

Beautiful painting and is great to honour the memory of someone loved with tulips,here people use more plant narcissus flowers and roses on the graves. I like your painting,it shows twice the symbol of the spiritual life,the cross and of people's love,the tulip.
