Their Love Remains

by

Diane Klammer

(Villanelle for my sister Carol)

Our lives move on and sing their own refrains
We see our family change before our eyes
When all is said and done their love remains

The Lord grants us our losses and our gains
Times jubilant, remorseful, all that cries
Our lives move on and sing their own refrains

Peaceful thoughts will minimize the pain
Remembering good moments as time flies
When all is said and done their love remains

Can distance cast a shadow on our brains?
Our hearts can leap beyond to clear our eyes
Our lives move on and sing their own refrains

Their essence floats through sunlight and through rain
As more than once we’ve said these sad goodbyes
When all is said and done their love remains

Such mysteries no genius can explain
Well meaning mouths are left no alibis
Our lives move on and sing their own refrains
When all is said and done their love remains
