Floating Ashes

Floating Ashes

A Poem by unclecharlie

I have necklaces hanging all over the place

And pictures so I can still see her face

Plus just one message saved to hear her voice

These are the things I saved by only my choice

I have a pillow where she once laid her head

The spoon I used when she needed to be fed

Many memories of all the games we used to play

Fresh in my mind like it was just yesterday

Spread some of her ashes in a small lagoon

Told her I loved her and I'd see her soon

That is when the picture became some what blurred

The ashes were floating and that's just absurd

As the center turned like a little tidal wave

Then fell out while the rest floated away

These ashes only floated just maybe a foot or two

Sank turning the water a bright shade of blue

I raised my head and looked at the sky above

Thanked God for showing us all of his Love!

Here is just a little about me. I have lived a life of choices and disappointments. Never counting on anyone but myself. I have had lots of alone time and lots of hard knocks. What doesn't kill us wil.. more..
