The Flame

In Memory of Mark Turnidge

Two years have come upon us –
This journey that did start
When Mark’s whole world was punctured,
stabbing every hurting heart.

These two years seem like a vapor,
yet his shadow’s lingered long.
He’s safe in the vault of heaven
where our treasure does belong.

The flicker of the life he lived will stay
inside the flame.
For memory warms the hearts of those
who cherish Mark’s dear name.
