In Loving Memory
I watched a sunset tonight and thought
of you. It has been days since the light
retreated from your eyes and your sweet
soul drew her last true breath. I have oft
wondered about that moment when you
finally wandered off into a realm where
I could not follow – did you hurt? Were
you afraid? Did you feel me with you on
that warm Spring morning?
I watched a sunset tonight and imagined
you next to me. A soft breeze tickles my
face as the sky is bathed in shades of red.
Your favorite color – our favorite color. I
closed my eyes and listened to you laugh.
You made me want to be a better person.
Thank you for loving me – you changed
my life. And thank you for the sunset.
