Grief of an Angel

Time passes slowly without you,

Like waiting for roses to bloom in the winter,

Why did I have to think about the future when you were in plain view,

Standing right in my heart's center,

Now I long for you in these gloomy days,

Not knowing how to live,

breathing by the breeze of wind nowadays,

The only animation I can give,

Heart heavy as a stone, weighing down my body,

pieces of what we had given away,

wondering why your love was taken elsewhere from me,

I wish life didn't act this way,

I feel like I'm nothing more than clay.

So sorry for the sadness on the passing of a treasured family member. The poem is a wonderful tribute.

My son-in law passed away yesterday. This poem describes perfectly what my daughter says she feels today.
