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.

This was so beautiful! We always remember the ones we love but have gone, and we always hope that they will be proud of our achievements. I also love the way the text as a whole takes the form of an hourglass, it really contributes greatly to the reading experience

Thank you so much, Purble :)

This is really touching. It makes me think of my aunt who passed away 6 years ago. She and I were very close and I miss her every day.

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much, Crystal :)

I don't know how anyone could read these words and not be touched to the bone...I'm sure this piece conjures up different memories for us all...in my case, I think of my Dad who we lost three years ago...one of my favourite pieces from your catalogue to date...a stunningly moving and heartfelt work my friend.

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much my good friend :)

I can only imagine losing a Dad so soon, especially one who is your rock!

This is a very touching and emotional write. I lost my grandma a year ago now and it was one of the hardest moments of my life. I still struggle with it at times. I could relate to this one so closely. As I read this, I envisioned my grandma and myself. I know she will always be with me...

...as yours will always be with you.

Fantastic job, Christian. You put into words what I could not. :)

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much, Mads. We will have them with us all the time! :)

[Ashley Griffiths]
