The Calendar

I check the calendar with fear. I always do this time of year. I dread the anniversary day, The time when He took you away. God sent his angels down at night, To bear you up in silent flight. I wasn’t there to say goodbye. I turn the calendar and cry. I’d like to skip these days of pain, But every year they come again. I cannot run from loneliness, The date is every where I guess. Won a 3rd

Yes, when we lose someone close those special days bring the lonely feeling to life..It does get better with time but we will always miss them..With my parents, the loss hits me at the strangest times sometimes..An aroma, a place, something someone says..Enjoyed reading your work from your very gifted pen..Thanks for stopping by..Sara
