Poem
I remember when we met and sat talking for hours At the picnic table beside the lake Quickly, you became my partner With a job that had consumed my life Then we were a team through turbulent times I thanked you for your help You said, there is no need to thank you It was the only time in my life, I was not alone with burdens I carry You were the one who cared about closure But the caring you provided, cost you your life It was this month, December, many years ago You were taken without being able to say goodbye I remember, I felt my strength die too A part of me was gone, as I moved forward for you Now, I am not sure how much time I have left Maybe, those burdens we worked on, caught up with me So these are my words, to thank you again To let you know of my love for you, I never got to say Except at your grave, covered with snow Now, written with conviction of truth Just as everything we pursued was based on To say once again, I am sorry I couldn’t do more My heart still aches for all that was never completed The empty space remains, that was only filled by you But I will see you on the other side Where we will light up the heavens as we did on earth! Heidi Sands 12/9/18 Placed 1st in the Letter to my Beloved contest.
