A Living Epitaph ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

In the quiet of the morning mist,
Amidst the whispers of the wind,
Lies the truth of life’s sweet twist,
Where presence reigns over treasure’s din

For the Lord, in His infinite grace,
Values not the wealth we amass,
But the moments shared, face to face,
With Him, our loved ones, till the last

In the embrace of family ties,
More precious than silver, gold, or gem,
Resides the love that never dies,
In hours spent, not in gifts we send

So let my epitaph be writ in stone,
A testament to a life well lived,
In the joys of love, fully known,
With every moment, freely given and received

For I’ll start living as if I were dying,
Embracing each breath, each day anew,
And when my time on earth is flying,
May my epitaph declare, “faithful and true”
