It has been 1 month already
Since you left our earthly arms.
The days feel anything but steady
Missing your smile and southern charms.
Time is such a fickle little beast
The sun keeps setting, rising in the east.
Time seems to have no care but to keep moving forward.
It doesn’t care how we miss or cry, but demands us on board.
These quiet moments of reflection and thoughts
This is where time slows down and can’t be bought.
Memories of my childhood and stories of yours.
Moments of laughter and joy, moments never a bore.
All those simple moments we spent
Us family of four
From simple car rides, trips to Granny’s
Memories crashing through an open door.
How each of those memories is frozen in time
In quiet moments, hectic moments, turning on a dime.
The memories come like a slideshow
The tears come on without warning.
The laughter seeps in, your chuckle in tow.
The thoughts of you gone still so alarming.
Words that should have been said more often
Emotions we should have shared
The times that were harsh but softened
I know in my heart how much you cared.
Time is really a fickle little beast.
Time marches on and the sun will rise in the east.
Our lives march on without the main time keeper.
Who is gone from our earthly lives, our love ever deeper.
You said in those fiinal days
You have one life to live
You need to go live it.
So during these days that you are gone
We are trying to live that life
Without you in it.
Taking all the life lessons and wisdom you imparted
This time is so different and challenging since you departed.
I hope you see from the heavens above
That you made such an impact on us with unspoken love.
I know you see us relive moments and laugh and cry.
And thankful that heaven makes you whole and the questions have a why.
How time is such a fickle little beast
The sun sets in the west & rises in the east.
How we took for granted our time here
How we miss the man we held so dear.
How I hope you know that words are never enough
To cover the I’m sorrys, the words that were always so tough.
Time marches on, our family without you
In heaven there is no measure of time
In heaven no pain, no worries & skies of blue
Gone from here, but in my heart a beat at a time.
Living our life is the best we can do.
