"There's never a teardrop that God doesn't see. He knows when a sparrow falls from a tree. There's never a moment when God doesn't care. Never a time when he won't hear our prayer." Quote by _Unknown I keep my memories in an antique chest all the pictures and loved keepsakes for I cannot see these pictures on the walls it breaks my heart and shatters my soul so I let them rest within this ornate chest and whisper as I close the lid rest in peace leaving a teardrop But, somedays the need is so great that I must lift that lid and I take them out every single precious thing I place on the floor and I sit there to caress each one holding it to my broken heart weeping and we stay like this for a time, the memories the pictures and those precious keepsakes and a teardrop falls Then, I know it is time to put them back time for them to rest in peace until, I have to open that lid and touch each picture and precious keepsake so I put them back in sadness whispering, never forgotten, never far, safe in my heart all the pictures, all the memories and keepsakes and I leave a teardrop

Heartfelt poem on departed. Whether it is a picture on the wall, or in a treasured chest, it has the same emotion. Thanks for nice work.
