Gray shadows fall upon my face
Here within this sacred place;
The stone so cold, and roughly hewn
Beneath this waning winter moon
The air is thin and so am I
My heart is heavy, I start to cry
Each letter of her chiseled name
Is lit as though with golden flame
My fingers trace the shallow grooves
As though with touch I could disprove
She is no more, and I am less
Without her voice and soft caress
Bereft and full of memories
I rise up from on bended knee
I place a rose upon her grave
Each petal but a kiss I’ve saved
Now, slowly do I turn for home
Only now, I walk alone.

Were we given the choice to be free of the grief, would we dare to trade even one caress, even one memory? I think not. We don’t miss what we don’t love. We are right to hold it close, for though people pass away, relationships do not. True love stories never end. ~ Bobbie
