Tick tock
the clock
STOP!
Pitter patter
incessant chatter
Drip . . .drip . . . drip . . .
I sip
cold water to my lips

The rise of his cheeks fell today
He decided it was time.
He closed his eyes today
and died . . .


I bring
hand to face
beg for something
to replace
this sadness
utter madness

of quiet

There is no forgetting.
Sometimes, tears bring relief.
Sometimes, recall of the happy memories.
And, truly, we rarely want to forget
Warm memories are often a blessing.

I search for words
that do not come

I can only say - I haven't prayed
in a very long time
but today - I prayed for you & your family
- and I will continue to pray throughout the days ahead

Oh littlewing, I am so sorry for your loss ...

I'm sure he was the most wonderful man...

He had to be... he knew you...


I'd like to think of how much joy you will bring him through the pure beauty of all your heartfelt words...

And, of your heartfelt thoughts...

in the coming days... and years...


Blessings to him, and to you, and to everyone, who's life he touched...


Most Sincerely,

Richy
