Uncle Phil

An empty space,
In my life,
Gone,
For as long as I live.

Tears running down,
Flowers all around,
For an occasion,
I will never forget.

The suffering look,
He once had,
Is now gone,
Because he’s in a better place.

Heads on one’s shoulder.
Eyes red from sobbing.
In remembrance,
Of my Uncle Phil.
