I Wept Today

I Wept Today

A Poem by Allen Smuckler
"

To Sandy, my beloved sister..

"

I wept today, I have to admit I did

and felt my tears moisten my lips,

as they flowed and ebbed;

and I couldn’t turn them off.

I wept today and for days gone by.

 

I wept this week, like I’ve never done before.

for the memories and thoughts,

and cascading streams from

mountainous reserves.

I wept today at the reality of time.

 

I wept today at the pictures of  youth,

and thought of  life..and death.

I wondered and wandered my soul,

as my tears turned to rain.

I wept for you and me as well.

 

I wept this month, and continue to weep

for the emptiness and void

your passing has left.

I grasp for a reason I know won’t appear

I wept today, again and again.

 

I wept for you and those you loved.

I wept like I’ve never wept before...

I wept and I wept ‘til my tears ran dry.

I wept today and I know for sure

I will weep tomorrow

and ever more.........

I wept for you and those you loved.
I wept like I've never wept before.....
I wept and I wept 'til my tears ran dry.
I wept today and I know for sure
I will weep tomorrow
and ever more.........


That stanza is heart wrenching! I believe that when we lose a loved one we weep like we've never wept before, they say it gets easier in passing and in some ways it does but the weeping never stops! Excellent poem!

The sorrow felt at the passing of a loved one and what has been and never will be again. This pain I know all too well. This brought a tear to my eyes once again........
