how does it happen,
some may know,
we never realize, we can feel so low..
fate happens to us all,
we rarely know how we get the call.
sitting here after the years go by,
missing you, and wondering why.
we wonder how to move on,
how to keep your light,
as bright as dawn.
keeping the flame lit for life,
the challenge brings me quite the fright.
for if I were to lose your light,
my heart may never feel the rite.
your smile as gleaming as the sun glistens across the crashing waves,
as the boat glides further and further away from the rocky shores,
we hear your voice, like my own beating heart.
telling us by the sound of our own beating heart, to help out someone, whose been put down.
to help a child, a parent, an animal, a relative, anyone!
I see no pain or hurt in those twinkling eyes of blue.
I see only the good as they glisten and see the good in us all.
so how can we keep, your bright spirit alive within us?
We must follow your lead, as God intends us.
we must include others,
keeping the flame of your soul alive in our hearts and our lives.
give to those in need, help those who are struggling, and keep those who are seen as different, near to us.
advocate for them and help them feel included.
strike from your life the negativity and where the positivity enters, there we see,
the flame we intended to keep, will truly always be.
that shining purple glow,
I will always know,
that in my heart, i hold you true,
and nothing else will ever make me feel blue.
For if your memory, I can always keep,
There is nothing more, I will ever seek.
-dedicated to my amazing cousin who was one of the best people I have ever met. she was always happy, kind, and fun.
truly like a sister to me, I miss her today just as much as I have when she left us that horrid day, 5 years ago.💜
