The Silence

The Silence

This place is so peaceful.
I sit down as I look around at all of
the beautiful flowers.
I say a prayer.
I tell you everything that is going on
in my life.
I tell you how nothing has been the
same without you.
Then I sit in silence.
The silence is what is hard for me.
I tell you how much I miss you,
as I start to cry.
It is time for me to go now,
but I will be back next week.
I tell you goodbye Dad.
I get in my car and drive out
of the cemetery with tears in my eyes.
