Hourglass

I will miss you, always.

Hourglass

 

 

I sat on your porch looking out at your garden as dawn approached

Each flower carried with it a memory...a tear...a smile

I'm sorry I wasn't here to hold your hand as you left

All I ever wanted was to be a star in your eyes

To shine bright for you and over you

Now you are shining over me

Watching me

And

I

Will

Carry on

As you're watching over me

I will shine bright for you down here

We can be stars together in our linked worlds

We will hold hands through our soul's connections

We planted a flower long long ago in each other's hearts

You sit on Heaven's porch watching your garden as dawn approaches.

Hourglass (love the title) - Sweet, touching and heartfelt piece. A poem about someone who passed away with hope that even if the two are far apart, they knew that they still have the connection.

"I will shine bright for you down here

We can be stars together in our linked worlds"

Excellent work!

This is very beautiful and touching.

Sniffles.

Such a heart-wrenching poem. It had my eyes water.

I admire the form you put your poem in. Made it fill with emotion even more.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

And forgive me friend. For I am so late.

...This deserved an early review.

Thank you for posting.
