You came to me at a time when life was incomplete,
I loved you so, you had to go, another time to meet.
Our time together was so short, I never had a chance,
to give you love, to hold you close, to even cast a glance.
You must have known I needed time to reach inside my soul,
to listen for directions and to achieve my goals.
You saved me from destroying the spirit inside of me,
in doing so you gave me hope that we were meant to be.
I never have forgotten how close I felt to you,
and praying to the heavens you'd forgive me too.
I needed faith at the time to carry me through pain,
the memory of wanting you forever will remain.
I think of you so often, yet time has made me see,
that at the time you came, we were not meant to be.
Yet it seems like only yesterday I was planning for our time,
I still think of all the things we'd do together on our climb.
I feel that I will see you, before this journey ends,
and your mother I will be as well as new bestfriends.
Thanking you is not enough for what you saved me from,
you knew that I would crumble, then who would I become.
The years have passed and I have nourished my spirit once again,
I have grown and learned so much, I no longer will pretend.
I cannot wait to touch your face and hold you in my arms,
just like I've done a thousand times in my dreams so charmed.
One day we will run and play my baby girl, my friend,
and I'll keep seeing you in my dreams, until we meet again...

Beautifully written, I could feel the emotion in it as I read it!  Very touching!

Oh this is so very, very beautiful...magnificently done. Such emotion...I can feel the longing, yet sense the peace you've come to find in knowing that you will be together again. A wonderful poem, Tamera.

Thank you for the comments and "support". Although this happened sometime ago, I am truly at peace with it now...I do have a certain longing, but I think that remains forever. of course, until we meet again..

You have wrapped a warm blanket of love around every person who reads this poem, and each will surely shed a tear
You have written your sorrow beautifully

Tamera, you've taken this reader on a journey of the heart...one that ends in faith, light and promise. Thank you for the gifting this cold afternoon.
