Not so very long ago
as I dined under a magnificent moonlight
something suddenly struck me
and changed me forever
see it all started
a few years ago
when I lost my greatest love
grief started to follow me
it sat on my heart leaving it heavy
it laid on top of me
it was beside me everywhere I’d go
it even bathed with me
and sat with me in the rain
waiting for the bus
which on some days arrived hours late
after all death is final
and she died without a goodbye
but grief was always there reminding me of this
I know you are waiting to find out
what actually struck me?
It struck me that each year that passes
I look ever so much more like her
a simple glimpse in a passing mirror
I can see her darling warm smile
and her diamond blue eyes, sparkling
I can see her within myself
so I guess…
she’s never really been gone has she.

Teddy, thanks 4 sharing. I enjoy your writing style👍🏾😉
Thank you. 🤗
What a touching and though sad wonderful vision of grief and loss. I loved so much how in the second stanza you personified grief as if it were a living being. And the finish of this piece was perfection as to how we incorporate those we love and they will always exist in us. Ten out of ten on this one
Thank you so very much my dear Sorenbarret your words mean so much, I had a feeling you'd enjoy that stanza a lot. Thank you so much. ❤️
Only physically Teddy. She's always with you. Heaven is only a heartbeat away. 😇
Awe, thank you dear A.P it used to be so hard but it's not anymore. ❤️ Time truly heals even if it is years
That Teddy, I can assure you is the truth. I\'ve lost my birth parents, my adoptive parents, my first dog Shelby, aunts, uncles, and even a dear friend from the neighborhood I grew up in who was like a brother to me. And I know they're all with me spiritually. 😉👍
Beautiful Teddy, amazing work.
Thank you for your kind words dear Thomas. 🤗
Wonderful emotive words Teddy, she will always be with you.
Andy
Thank you so much dear Andy. 🤗
I am with you all the way .. and have been here before Teddy .. such heart-wrenching realities always hurt long and deep .. Neville
Beautiful sentiment here Teddy. So very nicely conveyed. The loss of a mother, so painful. I wear my mother!s coat. Like you I resemble my mum in looks. That makes me feel warm. Very nice write. Second anniversary of my mother!s passing tomorrow.
Awe sending so much love for tomorrow, I wish I had my mother's coat, my mum passed when i was 37 it's almost 13 years and it seems to.hurt less each year. Big hugs dearest Cassie58. Always a pleasure to see you on my page.
