What does it feel like? 5 years without you.
Silence has taken up
residence Where your laughter used to be
And though I try to see you
Grown and mature at almost 22 Yet you remain ever 16 (almost 17) In
my mind’s eye
This is the loss, Both greater and deeper Than any
words Can convey
5 years.
Photos remain unchanged Upon
our mantle Year upon year
And the silence continues.
Your
blue eyes and quick smile Remain in my mind Ready at a moment’s notice
But the voice I used to hear has faded
Oh how I miss it.
We
gather on special days To talk to you and remember you All your family,
but we separate.
And the silence continues.
We take comfort in
signs That come our way Your breaking of the silence On some special
days
Butterflies and Dragonflies And warm feelings of love Come
unexpectedly From high above
At this 5 year mark As we struggle
through Signs are so needed From sweet, special you
You held all
our hopes And dreams You were our future And still are, it seems
So we think of you today And feel you near Living on deep in our
hearts You are always here
Thinking of you, Chris, on your 5th angel
date November 12, 2008 Luv, aunt Karen |
