Poem

About a week ago my cousin past away. It was very unexpected and sad. After she past away my aunt was prompted and lead to a suitcase that she found had a bunch of poems that my cousin had written. On top of all the stuff was one poem that my aunt felt she was meant to find. They read it at her funeral and I loved it so I thought I would share it.

Open your window and let out the stress,

let your body release with the winds caress.

Bring in the light to open your eyes,

nurture the soul before it dies.

Overflow sunshine into the heart,

distribute the warmth like paint to art.

From love, your body will illuminate,

pushing out intolerance, anger, and hate.

If everyone could open the window, look out and see,

what peaceful place this world could be.
