Six Years Ago
We found you dead six years ago-
You fled with just a frown and
journal-
You’re not around to watch Ella grow-
but her love for you is still eternal.
They found you in the Winter snow,
your body so close,
we did not know-
Your highs too high and your lows
too low-
We found you dead six years ago.
We could not see you after death,
it was too long since your
last breath-
Your body too frozen to thaw in time,
for your wake,
your skin entwined.
A rotting corpse you became,
a tragedy for all mankind,
life’s not the same,
I must digress-
your suicide…
couldn’t make me love you less.
We said goodbye to you in a closed tomb-
Mom cried….
For You were first in her womb-
Her tears brought agony with lilies
in bloom-
Her heart died with you…
I do presume.
We found you dead six years ago,
St. Patrick’s Day two thousand eleven,
I day I wish to really let go,
now your ashes six feet below-
and angels hear your laugh in heaven,
I wept and mourned at your procession.
In my garden your lilies still grow-
We found you dead six years ago.
***Six years ago today we found my sister's body after searching for her for over 3 months. She was missing since December 31, 2010- St.Patrick's Day will never be the same. The picture is where she last laid and took her final breath. We have a beautiful memorial site with a bench. I spread a few of Bo's ashes around the bench for her.***
