You

By your grave I now stand The headstone stands, tall and grand Like a tower for all to see For young and old, not just for me The words engraved cannot say All you did in your special way It’s really quiet, so peaceful here In solitude, I shed a tear Time goes by, it's been hours Since I arrived with fresh flowers This special time, means so much It brings us close, we almost touch Back to my world, now I must leave But I cherish this time, it helps me grieve So until tomorrow when we chat again I’ll wear a smile to hide my pain.

Very toucy, sadden by the image of you chanting just to speake to your loved one who has passed. I feel the emptyness in you heart feels the longing your emotions hide. Enjoyed the tenderness of the love you still hold for your loss. Have a nice one,..SidneyLeeAnn
