Thank You

I remember when we welcomed you home. 

And you wandered to what we now know to be your favorite spot. 

I remember when the peace we felt with you was boundless. 

As much as our devastation is now immeasurable. 

Now, we are mourning your presence. 

But we at least are aware of your everlasting existence. 

As we search for that one picture…

We feel our wounds, but they do not burden us. 

Thank you, beautiful. 

You will be in every thank you.
