What I'Ve Been Given

As the snow melts slow In the sunlight’s sparkling glow I recall when everything disappeared Consumed by all I feared So sudden, you were gone away No time for what I had to say Loving words hanging on my tongue The next song would have been sung That year, it was a cold winter With all the pain that did splinter My heart into pieces broken Only words at a grave spoken These memories never do fade Lingering in shadows of shade Although, I know you are in the light That shines upon me day and night What we had stays in a treasure chest To hold onto the very best What I’ve been given cannot be lost Through every winter that begins with frost Heidi Sands 2/27/18
