Thank You

 

On the day that you left

 

the air was warm and the trees

 

whispered, "Be thankful"

 

I looked up and was blinded

 

lowered my head and covered

 

my eyes

 

And again, I heard, "Be thankful, Now"

 

I looked around

 

and saw no one

 

My mind was leaving as well

 

I went back to my starting point

 

contemplating everything

 

And the voice sounded again,

 

"Be thankful"

 

Tears fell as the key unlocked the door

 

I wanted to yell, "Why, what is there

 

to be thankful for?"

 

When I pushed open the door,

 

I saw the photo album on the table

 

in the foyer

 

You loved that spot

 

You said, "People would love to see

 

all the good times we had together"

 

And then, it all made perfect sense to me

Very simple, but in a beautiful way. You didn't run with the usual cliches, perhaps describing the pain you felt. I like that the trees whisper this, along with a voice. Very nice :).
