Nothing fully prepares us For the passing of someone dear The news comes like a piercing sound Foreign to the ear Even if we were forewarned Of what was to occur It doesn’t ease the pain It doesn’t quell the hurt Sometimes it blindsides us Nothing we would expect It shakes us and it breaks us We’ve no chance to object We’re left reeling from the shock Staggering from the sting Trying to make sense Of all that’s happening Wondering how we’ll make it Without their presence near Questioning how we’ll go on Through the ache and through the fear Knowing somehow we must proceed But still not sure quite how Going through the motions Is how we function now One second, hour, day at a time That’s how you make it through You say, “I can’t ever see How I will make it without you?” “But, this one thing we have That no one can tear apart Is the memory we hold of you Close within our hearts.” So, with memories so precious We go forward day by day Honoring the one we love In a special way Their presence will be missed Their absence has left a void But their deposit into our lives Has left an undeniable joy And as we live each day Holding the gift of them in our hearts We honor their very essence A love that won’t depart R.i.p ian xxx
