Sofia Kioroglou's musings
You are gone and with you I cannot converse
my prayer our only communication channel
This phone call will certainly reach you
My cries no longer heave
I have started to play the piano again
got that pixie cut with long bangs
I know you are well
I can feel you
I see you smile

Sofia, dear sister, my heart feels your sorrow, but know that he is well. I wanted to share a poem that I was reminded of after reading your poem…it seems like it could be your Fathers words in prayer talking to the Lord, “The Eternal Promise.”, and Also a poem called ” Burtterflies.” that you also could have wrote. I share them to make you smile. Hugs, love and blessings always!
“The Eternal Promise”
I shall be with you
Lord, when I close
my eyes to sleep…
I shall rest comfortably
with you….
And when I dream now
shall I not be with you,
for I shall fly freely
in my dreams on sweet
clouds of joy and I
shall be with you as
the sun opens its eyes
For when he arises
in the morning, I shall
think on you and the
blessing of life that
you bestowed on me
and my heart shall be
brighter than the smile
of the new day’s sun
I will walk from the
darkness of death into
your life-light, for I
shall be with you in your
garden, singing praises
to your eternal love
And I shall be at peace
when I am born again as
my spirit leaves the flesh
and I will be counted among
the living in your heaven
…my sweet Lord.

“Butterflies”
Whenever I see the butterflies flying
I am reminded of your smiling face,
As I see them taking wing into the sky
I feel emotions which are never displaced
For in my heart also live the butterflies
As they come to life within me each day
While I count the different memories of you
Which in my thoughts and dreams will stay
The brightness of their many vibrant colors
Produce a vivid rainbow deep within my mind
Which fills my heart with such unwavering joy
Allowing me to enjoy them for an endless time
The butterflies will be my deepest treasure
Leaving me never again feeling the same
As the peace they bring to me cannot be measured
For on their wings are imprinted your name
God bless you and your family!
