This was written by a lady in our dive club for Jared Martin and read at his service here. Thought I would share.
For Jared
An echo of love
We will see you in the sunrise
when the brilliant colors touch the sky
the blues, the pink, the golden hues
they reach for mountains sung on high
I wonder, dear, what you would have touched,
reached for and climbed out of your valley in Tennessee
and as always the silent , ever ready question "why?"
We will hear you in the birdsong
that greet the day so loudly
that wake the sleeping eyes
from dreams that linger in the sound
I wonder what would your song have said
and as always the snuck in "how?"
We will see you in the trees
that dance as the days goes on
the leaves that catch the sun and
play the wind struck song
We will wonder how you would have danced
And our heads, as always the "what went wrong?"
I look into the deep blue sea
the mysteries unleashed
in each new wave, each new beach,
in each new grain of sand,
I wonder at its original depth
what life you would have had
had you stayed?
And as always the questions "was it me?"
I catch you in the melody
of a classic tune now hit
the bumps, the grinds, the beat, the bass
I have no idea how you would feel about
Josh and Naji's new play list
But as always I hear the same echo
"what did we miss?"
I shake my head to blot them out
these questions that fill our souls
We will hug you in the warmth of day
the sun upon our skin
We now look around the world at play
and miss you as each moment begins
and we will think instead
"Thank God for him!"
I/we may never know the why, the wrong, the right,
the blame, the guilt, the hurt, the loss, the love
but I/we/the world
will always know your name
and for that, Jared,
will never be the same.
So, Dance in the sunrise
Sing in the wind
dive in the sea
play in the waves
laugh in the stars
sleep with the moon
and we...
We down here...
will shine your memory.
Godspeed.
