The 'sudden-ness' of it all has left me bare.
How did it happen, why did it happen, this nightmare.
One day I have you, and all is quite well.
Then this day, you're gone, 'a living hell'
I need this time to sink into my spirit's core.
For you were loved this much and so much more.
Our times together were well spent, I'll treasure them.
But right now I'm barely hanging on the edge's rim.
I know that one day I'll recover from the shock.
But it'll be a while from now, you're like our rock.
I'll treasure your smile, your character's appeal.
I'll keep you fresh in my memory; this is for real.
At night when kneeling down I'll say a prayer for you.
I'll also ask God to keep me from being so hotly blue.
Your impression upon me and my family I'll never lose.
I'll keep on loving you, missing you, this I do choose.

This poem is written with so much care, I can touch your emotions while writing this! It brought me tears to my eyes and even made me try and cope with the loss.
Thank you so much for entering

I had to kind of write to your shock; because shock is powerful, and right now you're in it, so I hope you did get something out of my poem, but more than that I hope you speedy recovery from your shock and grief...God can do that for us. lots of love and prayers at this time of your grief

The thing is that if we didn't miss them so achingly much, it would be like their lives had meant nothing. But it is so hard.
Beautiful write.
