Affected Heart

Affected Heart

A Poem by Frieda P
"

Tribute to all those we've loved and lost.

"

Sometimes we need to fall

 to great depths 

to climb the heights

 we need to acquiesce 

 

Someone touches our heart

 and wrenches it free 

to soar strong

 emancipate us from our pain 

 

Words can either make or break

 the tranquility, 

the reality of geniality

 an indispensable life force 


People come and go

 throughout our humble lives 

some help us to rise above it all

  leave us affected 

 

That indelible brand 

some people leave upon our soul 

is that eternal sign,

 warmhearted kindness in us all 


We honor the memory

 of people we have loved 

a grateful heart

 better for having shared their lives 


No longer tangible

 in this chaotic frenetic world of real 

Their spirits live on always strong,

 never to be forgotten

We are made by the teaching of parent and family. Good and bad they are part of us. Their voices and spirit live through our actions and our thoughts. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Beautiful Frieda as usual a deep and thoughtful poem, I can feel the sadness still but also a sweet melancholy for the ones loved and lost, for who they were and what they meant to you.
