Reminiscent Tears

...in memory of a friend

Reminiscent Tears

 

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

 

my heart lies

mortally wounded by

 

reminiscent tears.

 

 

 

 

in loving memory of Tony

Author's Note

A quote from Hemingway reads, "No one you love is ever truly lost." I've taken solace in those words today.

Beautifully sad and laced with unfading memories.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I've made a commitment to myself to commemorate the death of each friend with their own poem. It's my way of honoring their life. Thank you most kindly, Will!

losing loveones is so painful..a loving write for your friend..gone but never forgotten..

[Kelly Scheppers]

It'll be three months next week, and I'm still coping with life without him. Funny, how we come to rely upon our friends always being there, until suddenly they're not. Thank you, Fran.

did you do that Image? cause wow! Thank goodness I have a terrible memory or I would be a blubbering constantly amen for my cracked brain! I am however duly affected by your lines here and I am sorry for the pain giving you to tears

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, darlin. No, the image isn't me, but isn't it lovely? I felt it really resonated with my grief at the time I posted it. You are so sweet to comment. ...you're my favorite bunny! ; ) ...that is considering I have no other. ; )

Loss of a loved one is a soul destroying thing but they are never truly lost they live in our hearts every day, your friend would be proud of this beautiful homage.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for that, Gram!

[Lyn Anderson]

So sorry for your loss. Your words convey the rawness of the first cuts of grief. Time doesn't take it away. But it does give us perspective. Hugs

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Lyn. It's always good to see you!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

My Kelly, I am so sorry for your loss of your friend Tony. As your Hemingway quote validates, those we love are always with us. Your poignant and heart-breaking poem is the highest kind of homage to one who will always love you back.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Annette. Our friendships are the foundations in life. He was my "go to", whenever something good or bad happened. He was there. I know his love will always be with me through all of the days of my life.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Those are the friendships that sustain us. May he R.I.P. and may God bless you both. Xo

You're welcome, Kelly.

[emmajoy]

Your words show such a special friend.. one who'll always gently hold your hand in his. As seems you hold his memory in your heart.. ..

[Kelly Scheppers]

I feel lost, adapting to life without him. Thank you, dear Em!

[emmajoy]

I know.. it's how it is. One realise that til the shadows fade into a kinder place, survival races with hope. Take care of yourself, Kelly.
