~ your scent gone from my favorite scarf...

For Lee, I miss you ♥

Memories fade to ether's charm

  mourning the bloom wilted away

reminisces of old photographs, 

   wistfully on display

tokens fade to black

   your essence gone astray

sweet scent, gone from my favorite scarf, 

infectious smile, 

   just a recollection from the past 

no echoing laughter wafts through the air

   I remember our last time spent together

like it was yesterday,

     yet a million light years away

       we giggled, laughed, we cried, we argued, 

we knew sisterly love profoundly

    I keep that special memory,

       gently tucked away in my heart of hearts 

'I hope you can hear me...'

Such precious memories depicted in this poem for your sis.

The poem is very beautiful. The way you described your feelings for your sister touched me deeply.
When I read your poem, It brought to mind what's truly important and that's love. Some people go
their whole lives not knowing love... obviously from what I just read, this is not your case. Your
sister sounds very special. Thank You for sharing such an intimate part of your life.

Now, I think you know what I am going to say about this because you know what I tell you every time. Seeing the love for your beautiful sister touches my heart every time I read something dedicated to her. She is your beautiful Angel and looking down on the amazing, beautiful woman you have become, she is never far from you as she is always in your heart and sending her love - watching over you even when you feel like everyone has left.

Lee will be so proud at how strong you are, Mama F - I know I am, in the few short years I've known I've come to realise that nothing or no one can get you down. This touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes... I can't tell you how this write affected me.

You know I am here for you... always.

Sending all my love and hugs. xoxoxo

Your love for your sister is so evident in your words chica, they are gone but never forgotten.Excellent pen my friend :)

I know I already expressed how this poem affected me but I wanted to review it anyway. The beauty and profound sadness I find in your words touches my heart. Bittersweet are the tears it inspires. As I told you...this kind of love or bond transcends anything. It is special and can never be broken. I will always believe she hears you and lives on in your spirit and poetry..though I know you'd gladly trade everything for one more day with her. xo

Just a recollection from the past.
No echoing laughter wafts through the air..
My sister and i too used to fight and banter and share millions of laughter but now distances part us.. even though i can just feel a percent of your loss but i can imagine the profound sense of emptiness.. That moments can't be brought back but will always be cherishes in our hearts. Your poem touched my core of heart bringing tears to my eyes..its so effective Freida.. i can feel your loss and be assured i will be there for you Amiga. ★love and wishes★

It's so hard to lose a loved one. It's a whole that will never be filled but a hurt that will ease with time.
Lots of time.
We keep the memories tucked away, and that's ok. We should not forget.

Your deep love shines through tears
in this write. One blessing that was
born from this tragedy is that your
writing reaches others who have
experienced a similar loss. It showers
comfort, and let's us know that we are
not alone in our grief.
Bless your heart.

I wanted to be the first one here, and I would've been if not for the million glitches I've got today...thanks WC...I can't even see the other reviews so I hope this one registers...I had a feeling that this one was coming, not just cuz of the timing but because of the sensitive and disillusioned tone I've detected from you this week...mourning the bloom wilted away...that sums it up all too well, the feeling of grief we carry over the loss of loved ones, especially when it happens suddenly...I'm almost too affected to say much more love...I feel like there are tears in my cheeks and it's only a matter of time before they rise...but you know I'm here for you anytime...much hugs...xo

You've touched my heart with your sweet words Steve, thanks from the bottom of my heart my dear friend.....xoxo

Actually Coyote was here first, but the WC has all those glitches, it was posted four times, now it's gone, so I fully understand your frustration...

[kublakhan27]

It's always a pleasure my dear friend...xoxo
