Sometimes I wonder
At the ache in my heart.
As I long so very much to see
Your faces peering up at me.
One set ice blue
The other forest green
These eyes I will
Love for eternity.
Your life so fragile
As you walk the mile
Choosing your own
Path to call home.
Though
I know ...
Blessed I am today
In so many ways.
The loss of you two
In this life of due
Hollow it has left me
Chained in despair-I be.
Your presence I seek
In spirit; to reach
Every moment - every day
My tears fill this blue bay.
I need your delightful love
Sweet as the morning dove ...
Reach me in the mundane I beg—
Try very hard ~ until we find stayed.
The high tide of emotion
Colliding in joy; not motion.
Renewing our resilient bond
As mother and daughters in song
Rising in voices of three
Elation in perfect harmony.
Sometimes I wonder
At the ache in my heart
As I long so very much to see
Your faces peering up at me.

Wow. Am I reading this correctly? Did your daughters die? I hope I am reading this wrong, but if I am not I am sorry, wow, this is a GREAT poem and I do wish you to keep writing. Wow.
