When sorrow visits my heart
uninvited as shade in sunshine
pouring over my entire being
tender feelings of days past
and I feel numb and fragile
not wanting to shake away
the love or the memory of
my loved ones taken away
by time’s thoughtless fate
indifferent to my emotional
bonds to my closest ones
and need for them to stay
alive and with me always
to never be very far away
to always answer my calls
always receive my embrace.
A.G. Munson
