A Note In the Wind - Nw
"the wind is blowing and the air is full with my note . . ."
Quote by _ Constance
oh, it has been awhile . . .
since I visited your graves . . . so sorry
but I keep your memory
always
~ a cold, dark stone is engraved with your names
your bones made into dust
yet, I have written you a note . . . ~
as storms shake the ocean of my forever grief. . .
and I am lost in my own words written
on note papers that tremble
and my hair is a flowing golden river in the wind
I will read . . .
~ mom and dad . . . you are great grandparents
to the sweetest angel baby girl
you would love her smile ~
sorry, I was not the perfect daughter you deserved
our road was rocky at times
until I found my place and planted my roots
but no matter you loved me
mom, I planted you a garden in honor as you asked
and treasure your last words in life . . . "I love you daughter"
I will carry them in my "heart" forever . . .
~ my health could be better but I rise above that
weeping- I admit that I feel cheated . . . by your deaths
. . . oh, there is more written, much more . . . but
I let the note go in the wind to drift among the graves
bowing my head in tears . . . ~
