Grief Poem

Another day has slipped away; we wish we still were two.

But now you’re safe, no longer ill, off to heaven you flew.

Down here on earth the flowers bloom, three deer came by to graze.

Though sun shines bright and grass is green, our heart’s still in a daze.

The wash is done, the beds are made; our guests now travel on.

They were great help and lots of fun; next job is mowing lawn!

Full week ahead, wish you were here, ‘t’would help my heart to mend.

And coming up, some happy times; three weddings to attend!

I wish you were with me again — but can’t ‘shift’ in reverse...
