Forever My Darlings

on a glorious morning
my losses rise up
a choir of golden
they sing from blue sky

and though i am thankful
their faces aren’t blurred
today is for memories
there’s no time to cry

the decades since passing
grow distant it’s true
yet lingers that sorrow
it plays on a harp

its song pure and loving
as feelings don’t change
forever my darlings
the hem on my heart

Some people in our life dear Chris. They become a part of us.
"the decades since passing

I like and understand the above lines. Sorrow become like music. We learn to accept. Thank you dear friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Hi Chris, today i cried missing you and him and my son. Its like a decade travel, missing him. We became old lost our time where we needs to be. I didnt think his face would get deteriorated
That much. Me too got vulnerable. God has tdken much patience of ours. I know it had hurted you too. But today jan 9 2024, remained a special day for me.

Yes, loss can be a gray sky that always lurks in the background, but the blue skies of love, affection, and good memories keep them away. A wonderful poem, Chris.
