in this book of tears you’ll find,
a lifetime of memories transfixed,
a colorful kaleidoscope, pages in time,
loving tributes from those left behind.
so turn each page, oh so gently,
for there are times we cannot bear the pain,
were it not for this hope that we cling to,
knowing we’ll see their face again.
each lament composed in great sorrow,
every poem & writ in deep grief,
pictures our hearts have tenderly framed,
of one we no longer can touch or see.
tear-stained pages, every token,
each unique, full of memory,
though they cannot return our loved one,
help our hearts to still, to beat quietly.
for though battered we are not broken,
for though bruised we are not torn,
our hearts we know you've not forgotten,
in your grip, our spirits are yours.

poetry... it's in my blood; and when impassioned most, i bleed... easily! mostly i write to and of, they who offer this heart safe harbor. …
