Not for contest

Memories tattoo my brain like an artist
I miss loved ones passed and the last
Time I saw each one is frozen 
Like icicle tears swelling brown eyes

Last time I saw her alive she 
Was full of joy eating favorite foods 
Planning her life despite breast cancer 
Nothing stopped her from dreaming 
Not even death

Final time I saw him in Atlanta 
It was summer and he was smiling
Carrying his first grandson on
His shoulders piggy back style
Definitely proud

And so many more I hold on shores
Of happiness and gratitude for 
I know love outruns death 
I know somehow they are better
Where they are now in heaven
