Dance For Him

Dance for him She wished there was no tomorrow Because yesterday the music stopped. When love took its last living breath And became a memory with his death. The roses bloomed with sweet perfume Upon his grave, a newfound place. Where tears will rain and it is safe For all her thoughts to be embraced. She must now bring magic, Move mountains in the way. Live with all the words, she never got to say. There is silence lingering, dreams that end When she wakes without her closest friend. So, she must make music and dance for him. As he would want because he knows she can. She takes a step and another. Gripping gratitude tightly than ever For every day she had with him, Everything he gave to her. She will never let go, never let go. He is the tune in her song That keeps on playing. Heidi Sands

Thank you , Joseph! :) It means a lot to me. I am ok now, but it was a tragic loss for me.

A heartbreaking piece at the onset, but the love and passion in it lifts it up to a special place.

The pain of love never goes away, you just learn to deal with it on a daily basis. There will never be enough time in the world to say how much you love someone as there will always be a time when you cannot. #7 God Bless. D.
