kath Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 THE FOURTH YEAR (of missing Bob) This day brings back The frightful way You died when you Were supposed to stay. The storms passed. The weeds grew. The years end. I saw it through. The repairs came. The silence went. The tides changed. I sought to vent. The clock ticks. The hours fly. The love we had Surpasses time. Your memory burns A forever hole. My daily prayer Renews my soul. Four years ago We held to hope. Now still alone I know I’ll cope. The kids stretched Beyond my height. The dog died. I saw new light. Laughter spills Though tears remain. The life that’s left Must start again. The eagle soars. It’s you I know, Watching, guarding, Letting go. Trumpets play. The loons call. Our offspring has Amazed us all. Doctors’ tests Relieve my fears. The job demands. The pressure wears. I’m reaching out Past comfort zones. To share the love You once had sown. My heart won’t let Your memory fade. You’re the part in me Where joy is played. May 30th, 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
