Never
will I understand the motion of us all
The
way we walk, breathe, and talk no matter short or tall
For
each emotion that we hold our thoughts cannot match
How
we feel about true love or when the bird eggs hatch
But
when I stop for the world on one black sorrowful day
The
sun is out and people sing the words they have to say
Children
laugh and run the streets as they can’t see my pain
Has
the one I have loved and lost lived and died in vain?
The
mothers hum a song of life while cleaning clear windows
As
I can’t speak, hear, or feel the softest wind that blows
I
dress in black and walk a path like many have before me
My
heart is strain to match my thoughts but not a soul can see
The
sunniest morning I’ve seen in May welcomes me today
And could not rain the blackest skies no
matter what I say
This was written in June of 2011 for Gloria Nardon Allegrucci by me, her granddaughter, Amber Maria Allegrucci.
It is for anyone and everyone healing from any sort of loss or departure of a loved one.
Just a few years later I decided to do a follow up for her to tell her that I was doing pretty okay. ♥
I
thought of you today and smiled
At
the image of such a small child
Running
down the parlor floors
And
roasting yummy melted s’mores
Then
I grew and grew and grew
And
before you noticed, Wow who knew!
I
started to look just like you
A
laugh that belonged to just us two
And
although you’re not here with me today
And
can’t hear the words that I have to say
You
should know that I will never forget
Spending
time with you while watching the sunset.
Please feel free to share.
With lots of love, Amber.
In loving memory GA. My gram gram :]
