Faint Voices

Re-work of Mothers Day tribute for general Memorial

Many years have past

Since heard their voice

When last heard, was faint

I still hear

The voices

Even though gone, voices faint

When you look at the years

The voices stay with you though faint

Happy memories the past

Sometimes that is best

To keep memory close even if faint

Never forget the love

Which is always there

Though life or death keep fears faint

When the time is right

It becomes your night

the light of your life becomes faint

Reunited again with voices from the past, they will be strong and no longer be faint

Author's Note

Re-work of "Never Gone" to a more general format

inspiring lines especially "When the time is right
It becomes your night
As the light of your life becomes faint"

I was surprised by those words when I finished also. Thank you for your reading my work and commenting. It is great appreciated.

An exceptional, and relatable piece of writing. I especially enjoyed the three-line, increasing word-flows. It creates a very nice dynamic element, especially when coupled with the repetition of the word 'faint'. I thought this had a lot of life, and 'captured the essence'. Well done.
