Too Many Times

I've cried too many times, that flood of tears at a loved one's passing that indescribable feeling and emotion that wrenching in my breast heart beating too fast breath straining with every tear salt burning my cheeks that dragged out pain and sorrow wondering praying asking God why. Too many passings in a lifetime grandmother, father, sisters, brothers children gone too soon only pictured memories remain. Standing at the precipice I weep once more I cry for loves lost and slipped away I pang at the loss and patient I wait for the years to catch me taking me home to see them all again.
