Sweet Images

I wished you were here, the stream of wishing never stopped Sometimes, I was blessed with your return to life in my dreams Sweet images to hold onto, from those special gifts in the night I tried to move through each new day cautiously, step by step While looking forward to a light of our own reuniting later When we can celebrate all that we never had the chance to Sudden death is a curse, of haunting words unsaid Spilling from my mouth, begging to be heard at your grave But, the place deep in my heart, remains the same No empty years can take away what you have filled As I live carrying my future image, to embrace you in the end 3/10/19 Heidi Sands

I have many friends who have had visitation dreams and it carries them to the next heartbreak easily and happily. "Sometimes, I was blessed with your return to life in my dreams" Yes, this describes a portion of grief that many know and count on. Nice one, Heidi.
