i wrote this for my uncle when he passed away. the months following his death were so hard on me. recently (december 1st 2017) my kitten was hit by a car and we had to put him down because of his injuries. i loved him like i loved my uncle. his death was devastating. on at least one occasion my uncle and this poem i wrote in my grief came to mind. even though i felt like i had no one after my uncle died, i didnt give in to my grief. and i was wrong, i wasnt alone. i will never be alone. and even though i felt as though i'd die of my broken heart when blue was taken from me, i survived.
Through the wind
through the trees
leaves that quiver with the breeze
these things we all see
this lovely day
continues to be beautiful
this I pray
Through the pain
and the sorrow
through the day to see tomorrow
through the teasing
sorrowful sighs
see through the tears
that blur my eyes
Sight that sees the good in all
supporting shoulders that never fall
the only one I'd ever love
has gone to be with God above
and through the sobs the strength to smile
Through the years and all the while
I'll miss you but for you I'll stay
and carry on another day.
