What Matters the Most To You - a Sonnet

04/03/2020

The things in life that matter most to me  
live in this house that I can call my own.  
The people and pets that make family  
the ones that are here when I feel alone.  
 
My daughter is one I think of each day  
and how she has grown into such a gem  
David is here and sends love all my way  
I know I could not stand life without them.  
 
My son now is gone but he is still here  
in my heart and in my memorys too  
My husband is with him or at least near  
thinking of them makes my heart break in two.  
 
I love what I have and miss what I lost  
But I wouldn't trade it for any wild cost.
