All Saint’s Day ~ El Día de Muertos ~ The Day of the Dead ~ is a day of remembrance for those who have passed ~ for those who etch themselves on our hearts, never to be forgotten. Today I honor them all and I hope you will give a moment to honor your loved ones who have passed as well. Just for a moment, be grateful for having had the chance to know them. Blessings don’t always come wrapped up in a pretty bow. Sometimes it takes awhile to know what was a blessing. ♥
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
And some have gone, and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I love them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
