Spring without you
We all have different ways at different times in our journey of grief to try to express the indescribable. I have written many poems since my Son's passing. This is the most recent that I wrote for my beautiful Morgan.
Spring is here and leaves are falling
As they always do.
Another season's arrival spent
Here, without you.
Three Springs have come and gone
But what I have to say.
Is it makes me realize in my soul
It just makes another way.
Another way to see new life
Bounding out of the ground.
Another way for flowers faces
To show all around.
Another way for bees and butterflies
Get every drop they need.
Another way for seeds planted
To grow amoung the weeds.
Another Spring without you
I can't believe it's time.
To watch the world come alive
The years they sure do fly.
But as the years go by
And with every Spring I know.
You'll be raining drops from up above
That help the flowers grow.
