Listen to poem:

Those We Love


"Those we love don't go away they walk beside us every day" 

Years may come and years may go 
still the memory of her scent still flows  
"I'm praying in an angel, just for you" 
she'd say then whisper, "I love you" 

Echoes of her love still stir in me  
beneath the silent hush of her carefree 
The story of our lives, cache of gold 
hidden in my chest never to grow old 

Years may come and years may go 
she walks beside me every day.  
Those we love don't go away,  
inside our hearts they always stay.

Those we love When singing praise to the Lord above, that our feeling take flight like a white dove. The joyful songs melts away all anger and fear. That one can't help not to drop a tear. Yet in the end the believers find comfort,where there's love.

Ain't that the truth. Love knows no size nor age, even species. My little ginger cat is a lover. Blessings.

Dear Rose, it brims with warmth, memory, and enduring love. Her scent, a whispered “I love you,” the feeling of her moving just beside you is just beautiful. There’s such tenderness in the way you hold her close, not just in your thoughts but in your senses and your heart, as if time can’t blunt what matters most. Excellent Read! Summer Blessings, My Dear Rose, Daniel

I like the rhythm, rhyme and flow of this one, Mystic. Thank you for sharing it with us. It leaves me with a question as to who it is. Questions left behind make for good poetry. Sara K

Dear Sara, I had my mom in mind when wrote this, I still have her old sweater in my closet and wear it once in a whole, it was her favorite one cuz I gave it to her and it was pink with shiny silver threads in it. Way to big for me but I wear it anyway to feel closoe to her.
