Notes About The Poem

Eternal Memories

Life without you seems so surreal, so unfair that you are no longer here, yet I still feel your strong presence, smiling while shedding a tear. Although you've gone, so many memories reflect through my mind, in times of trouble, you were always there, treating me so kind. The amazing times we shared, forever live within my heart. Physically we are not together, but mentally we are never apart. Constant reminders of your unique fragrance still linger in the air, especially in your closet, still full of clothes you loved to wear. Ringing of your unique and contagious laughter still rings within my ears, I know many more recollections like these will last a zillion years. A white dove visits often, reminding me of your angelic grace, every time I look into the mirror, I see your beautiful face. Thank you for being my guardian angel, for showing signs that you're around. Until we meet again my dearest, my love for you will continue to abound. In days or sorrow, you always soothed with words of sincerity. Even after death our special bond will remain for eternity.

I ADORE this poem, the loss of your loved one brought tears to my eyes, my good friend, but as you say you have your own personal guardian angel until you meet and then together, for eternity, you will watch over others in your family. I have faved this brilliant poem. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Blessings, and hugs, Jennifer.

Poignant is the best word that comes to my mind reading this one. It's too bad Cecile is so busy. It seems ages since I've had a visit from her!
