1043 Mondays | Memee's Musings

 

You were so kind, so wise compassionate and generous always giving, never taking the most genuine I've ever met. So many lives, so many hearts you've touched us all so thoroughly we changed in knowing you our hearts, our souls we changed in loosing you our hearts, our souls forever changed our walk, our talk forever changed our life you've marked. I am among those who've been left behind devastated now that you're gone You've left this world you've excised your pain your agony is finally gone as ours has only just begun. I cannot keep the tears inside and I wish you'd not been so good to hide the feelings you kept deep down inside. We didn't know we didn't understand we hurt, we grieve we laugh, we cry but most of all we're left asking, "Why?" But know this: You changed our lives with every smile, with every joke, with each adventure and all you cooked. You changed our lives and made life richer like eating chocolate after dinner. You changed our lives and that cannot die forever with us you'll now reside. We love you!

  1. Wonderful. I enjoyed the playful structure of this poem. While sad, it had a hopeful aura about it.

    1. Thank you. Although our family is in mourning right now, I know that someday the sun will shine again, happiness is inevitable despite a tragic, life-changing loss.

      1. You are correct. I hope that the grieving ends soon. Keep your spirits up until dawn breaks again 🙂

      2. Thank you, Carlos. We’re trying our best to be as “normal” as possible with our day to day lives… it just seeps in everywhere though.

      3. I’m sure it does. It’s not easy to just overlook. Still, something as simple as remembering to smile can help you make it through the day. Take it one day at a time.

      4. Thank you. They (the researchers) do say that smiling puts out happy chemicals in our brain so faking it until we make it, really does work!
