Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2005-12-13 11:26 PM



Years of photos stacked,
one by one,
memories and places,
all through the years,
you could notice her
smile,

It was like a candle,
lighting a darkened room,
bringing light, a glow,
it beamed from her heart,

Where joy and happiness
flowed,
most of all, love.

She sits and she looks,
at all those photos
from time to time,

She wanders when
that person disappeared,
slowly, if you notice,
her smile,

It became smaller,
and smaller,
like a match burning
out...

so now she asks
herself,

Am I happy?

to find the answer,
she just looks in
the mirror...

and she seeks,
the smile that
is no longer
there.

"It was like a candle,

A sad but beautiful poem. Well done as always,
