Whispers of yesterday

but there is a layer of wisdom that you
earn in your older years that helps your heart
to understand that things are different now,
but yearning will happen
I yearn for my son in heaven and my parents
and many other friends and family that are there
I yearn for physical and emotional closeness
with my other son and pray and seek to close
the distance between us
I relish the creativity of being able to put my
thoughts and emotions into words that I have
recently discovered and the ability to be creative
artistically without stressing over what it looks like
I love the closeness that I have developed with
my creator, through the trials that I have faced
I understand more about the world as a whole and
the people in it, than I did when I was younger
I cherish the wisdom I have gained and pray that
will continue to build
But, I still hear the whispers of yesterday and
