~MY
SANCTUARY~
Playing with
images in my mind,
Of gentler
days, days left behind.
My world in
perfect order, troubles rare
Blissful days
of yesteryear, no sorrow I bear.
Recapturing
the days, contentment abounds
As I recall
the way your laughter sounds.
I see your
reflection, in the mirror of my tears
As my mind
travels the path, of memories held dear
In the light
of early dawn, new day decreed
Declare my
sacred space, for you and me
The world waits,
as you and I climb
Hand in hand,
through this treasured time.
My love of
dawn again restored
A priceless
gift from my Lord
Lost for a
time, but now again I treasure
Blissful morning
hush, cherished pleasure
Sun is rising,
the world intrudes
Raising me
from my reverie
Tapestry of
images conclude
Held forever
in
hearts memory

PLEASE DO
NOT TAKE WITHOUT PERMISSION
I
have found myself explaining that though I sit very quietly, I am okay,
I am just spending time with my child, as you will spend time today
with your living child.
I have found
this time to be mandatory for the progression into a life without him.
It centers me, comforts me, and gains for me
the resolve
to continue moving forward.
Here is where
I share my love, memories, sadness, confusion, and all other emotions that
grief work demands we confront.
Find some time
today that is just for you and your child and I pray that it aids you on
your
journey…
