MISSING YOU

Missing You
ARC (c) 3/14/14

You are gone, yet not…
time passes…it’s our lot
to miss you, grieve and mourn,
yet for others: smile not look forlorn.

Unexpected moment can quicken heart;
you turn expecting to see: sweet then tart
for awareness comes back like earthquake
renewing, reliving, remembering loss and ache.

Comfort comes in treasured memories of love
fortified with hope in reunion some day above
juxtaposed caring/sharing stories held dear:
the ones that bring a smile, hold back a tear.

You are in thoughts and prayers every day,
minutes, hours, days, weeks go by as I pray
all who love and miss you bless kith & kin tie:
til we all meet together in The Sweet By-and-By+
