A piece of my heart broke today
The news came quietly
In my grief and confusion I refused to open the door for acceptance
Yet I held it wide open for sorrow, denial and regret to enter
I pulled up a chair and sat down with sadness
Memories flooded my consciousness like waves
crashing into the pristine beaches of my childhood
Wisdom whipsered and reminded me that although time flows forward
I can always turn to look back over my shoulder and see your smiling face,
hear your laughter and recall the times we shared
Now you radiate with the warmth of the sun
And shine among the stars at night
Your joy and light are a presence that remains
Your spirit lingers ever close to those who love you
As you sprinkle your magic into the universe
I am thankful for the gift of you
I am forever grateful for the part you have played in the story of my life
Your grace, goodness and beauty will always be.
