Those We Love

Those we love do not go away,
they walk beside us every day,
sometimes they fall as drops of rain,
washing away heartache and pain,
and then, shine upon like sun-ray.

Sending blessings through the soft snow,
they make our winters warm - mellow,
glowing among the twinkling stars,
smiling within fragrant flowers,
they guide us along the life's flow.


Those we love do not go away,
they walk beside us every day........

Placed fifth

Dear Vandana, I adore your use of rich natural and emotional imagery in your touching and expressive poem. I was especially struck by "sometimes they fall as drops of rain,/washing away heartache and pain" - so poignant and beautiful. A soulful and satisfying piece. Congratulations for your success in Rose's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
