THERE

Being one less to visit,
And, of course, life goes on,
But the home is a house
Now the woman has gone.

She still haunts the kitchen,
And is heard in the hall;
Her absence is present
Every time that I call.

Beautiful expression here. A touching write John. Tells me she will be greatly missed but well remembered. Nice job.

Thanks Chris
As achingly beautiful an elegy as any I've read. In its brevity so much is so eloquently expressed that all I can say is you loved her well and truly John

Thanks Ken. Glad you enjoyed it.
Understated but very poignant in its expression of grief. Its spareness and brevity makes the feeling more intense. Well done.
