One-of-a-kind-Beloved (Happy Family Day)

Every single day countless one-of-a-kind human beings depart from Time

while countless others are born into it!

God, our Creator knows and loves each and every

one-of-a-kind Beloved member of the Family of Humanity !

In Ontario  we are observing Family Day!

In most of our family circles there is a hole where a loved one used to be!

Let's not take any of the faces we can still look into, for granted!

Not one of us is promised tomorrow!

 We all are a 'one-of-a-kind'

No one can take the place

Of someone who has left behind

Only mem'ries to trace...

We miss her...our sister Lucy💗

(tomorrow marks 17 mos. of missing her )

We all are a 'one-of-a-kind'

No one can take the place

Of someone who has left behind

Only mem'ries to trace

We are God's precious works of art

 And no two quite the same

 A one-of-a-kind face and heart

No matter what our name

Thus, when one-of-a-kind eyes close

 The sound of their voice stills

It leaves a hole in hearts and homes

That no one else quite fills

Because we all, one-of-a-kind

Part of the human race

Effect a purpose God-designed

That no one can replace

Reminding us, to seek and find 

Reasons, while we yet may

To be our best one-of-a-kind

Family-member today

...because who-wherever we be 

One-of-a-kind, beloved

We are part of a Family

God-granted and approved 

...and no one knows how near or far

Final farewells may be

Let's live as if dawn flings ajar

Last opportunity

My mother gave me a copy of this poem

I keep it on my fridge as a reminder

to treasure the memories...
