Another Year

Another poem about my grandfather as the holidays near the hole in my heart only seems to grow.

 

Another year has come and gone

The pain of losing you has not

Our hearts are still broken

Our life still feels incomplete

Your presence is still assumed

As your memory carries on

Thanksgiving will be as always

A time to reflect on our memories

Just now the memories are mainly of you

I will listen closely to all that everyone has to say

Only wishing I could have heard them from your point of view

Wishing that we could have had more time

Even for just a day or two

When a story is complete

We will all laugh together

Then a moment of silence

A moment that is never planned

It's as if we all take a second to reflect

Some will look down at their drinks

Others will look up with a smile

As we think of your smiling face

Then as if it never happened

Another tale will ensue

Since another year has come and gone

And the pain of losing you has not

We will take refuge in our memories

And hope that you are close
