I can’t explain this empty feeling,
A heartache…..painfully revealing,
The sad news of a loved one’s passing,
A picture, a remembrance, Psalm 23 grasping.

It’s in these fleeting moments we try to reconcile,
Why we did or didn’t use time more worthwhile.
I’m praying that serenity will fill your heart and mind,
To triumph over this mournful time.

Death is a reality for all of us. "If Only" reveals a message of wishing we had done this or had done that with our loved ones. Its never to late to love the ones near and dear to your heart because we never know what tomorrow holds. As John Burroughs said "Its times like these that I always go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses put in order. I love you all!
