Twelve Years

For my lovely friend, this is for you. Grief and loss have their own path. But love and light last forever. Blessings, love and hugs. Twelve years By Michelle Morris 24/01/2023 You left us twelve years ago But it's just like it was yesterday Twelve years of mourning Grief and loss that keep staying Feeling infinite in the clock's ticking Life moves forward year by year But you are still held deep inside Wrapped up in hopes and tears You were always part of my dream Held dear in my broken heart Sometimes I have this fear That you took away our best part Grief and loss have their own path Their own way to keep time With the beating of our fragile hearts The memories held enshrined I know you watch us from Heaven And I know my sadness gives you pause But our whole family wants you to remember That you're the one we all adore Whether twelve years or a hundred Your loss will always be felt here Perhaps time will eventually be gentle And release this grief and loss to the ethers We love you with our whole hearts We miss you to the moon and back And one day we look forward To getting our family back © Michelle Morris, 2023
