Missed

Dear You,

Let not too much time pass between
You breathing
your gift of breath
And uttering
"I love you"
You just never know when
It's going to be the Last

Give your "flowers" today
And even if you don't know
why you may be getting "flowers"
Receive them anyway
I'm sure you won't regret it

I hope this piece is as much of a blessing to you as it was and is to me. I write this in remembrance of living legacies, in their own right. I write this for the people who have etched the very essence of their being on the tapestry of my heart. Their love, as a manifestation of the Ultimate LOVE, expanded the capacity of my heart. And the expansion enables me to love more.

*Dedicated to all the ones I have Loved and Lost*

We smiled
We danced
We laughed
We loved

You taught
I learned
I lived
You died
Or is it
You lived
I died

You now have eternal life
and my heart missed a beat
When I realized
I couldn't share you
with the world
anymore
I cried

Time
passes
One Year
Two Years,
FIve, Seven, Nine
And more

So glad I had the opportunity
To really know you
Because now,
with tears in my eyes,
I can honestly say
You are...
MISSED
