Some Healing To Do

I still cry
When I recall
How sweet life was
With you

I’ve still got

Some healing
To do

And I know now

From experience
That such things
Take time

I know now

That healing
Will come
When it will

Will sneak up on me

As I’m watching
The flowers bloom
The seasons change
The children grow

Still forever

I’ll carry you
Close in my heart

Forever

I’ll be in awe
Of the joy
That you brought
 
Forever I will let
The tears fall
When they will
 
There just isn’t
Any other
Way through
 
I’m still learning
How to live
Without a piece
Of my heart

I’ve still got

Some healing
To do

The Things That Time Built

I miss
The things
That time built

The comfort

That comes only
From living
Years of life
Together

The shared experiences

The learned rhythm

Of play and rest

The we

Are certainly
A family

I miss the things

That time built

Precious things

Not quickly built

And because of that
So deeply cherished
So terribly missed

You

You are not hurting
You are not afraid
You are not sick

You are not worried

You are not lonely
You are not confused

You are not angry

You are not unsettled
You are not uncomfortable

You are not feeling abandoned

You are not any of these things

I am these things

You are at perfect peace

Bathed in love
Content with rich memories of a blessed life

And because you are these things

I will do my best
To be them too
