A poem about remembering what we've lost...

Thanks for stopping by the blog! ...In life, we all suffer losses. Regardless of whether it's a loved one passing away; a romance coming to an end; or just loosing touch with someone who you were once close to, having someone you care about disappear out of your life is one of the hardest parts of growing old. ...While I was meditating today, I thought about all the people who I've lost, or had disappear out of my life. I couldn't help but breakdown in tears as I did. Afterward I thought about how difficult it is to loose love & how amazing it is to be blessed enough to have it when we do. As I thought, I found a need to write. ...So I wrote the following poem. However it may apply to your life, I'm sure everyone can relate to this poem in some way or another. With that said, I want to share this with you in hopes that it will remind you not to take the time you have together, with your loved ones, for granted & to appreciate the ones we love while they're still here!

"The Thought Of Loosing You"

I try not to 

Look back

Because, 

When I do,

I can't help but 

Miss & 

Think about 

Loosing you

We walked in the

Sunshine &

Ran in the 

Rain, 

We laughed through the

Good times & 

Cried through the 

Pain

You taught me, & 

I showed you,

A world full of

"New",

You learned & 

I saw & 

Together we

Grew

When I start 

Looking back on the 

Times that we had,

It's a roller coaster ride of

High/happy & 

Low/sad

First,

Jubilee,

When I think how

You shined,

Then, 

Total despair, 

Knowing you 

Left me behind

It always ends

Sad,

The "ride" stops on 

A low,

& I'm always 

Left asking

"Why did you 

Have to go?!"

Please forgive me for

Trying to forget

The past, 

But, I must, to survive

...If I don't,

I won't last

I fight, & struggle,

Everyday,

To move on,

But, it hurts & 

I miss you so much,

Knowing you're

Gone

The truth, 

Though,

I know, is 

You will always 

Haunt me

...You'll stay in

My heart 

Through the rest of

Eternity 

Should eternity ever

Conclude,

I pray that the 

End is where 

I'll find you
