Not a photograph, with poetic tones,
that was a bit lyrical, though I have seen them
She gave me a great compliment,
giving power to my words, sharing an image
a photograph with the language used
Giving visual reference, remembrance
memory in my telling of his story
of his devotion, his commitment
to his service to the Lord
His place in the congregation,
in worship, told by his practice
over and over, in the darkened sanctuary
Being ready to share with us
and with our God
