How in the world do I put it into words….
How do I hold you here with me……
Years. Gathered like
silk thread.
They fly as our children’s
laughter
In that unique moment. You live.
When we were young. We dreamt
of great things.
You danced. I walked. It was never the same.
Years moved us apart.
But never away.
My kindred spirit. My friend across the miles.
Dripping gold forget me
nots on your china dishes.
Forget me nots. Your favourite.
How do I hold you here with me.
How do I take all of these
years.
Place them here beside me.
In my heart.
Remember wiindy prairie days. Do you? I do.
Dripping ice creams. Our children running.
Then we were far again. But never alone.
Your quiet resolve . To hear you speak again.
Across the miles.
All the silly moments. And the serious ones.
Heart to heart. Soul to
soul.
How do I hold you here with me...
It was enough just to know you were there.
Stay a while with me.
Every moment was worth it. No regrets. No what ifs.
We said everything that could be said.
My kindred spirit
I will miss you……
How in the world do I put it into words…
How do I hold you here with me….
