Losses
My mind's eye plays a myriad of fleeting
images passing ever so quickly
Dark brown eyes laughing in the distance
echo's of love lingering ever so gently
A sense of humor that did not stop, loving
life at it's fullest
Full of jokes, stories and most of all faith.
My West Virginia friend, that I had never
met...yet close to her I felt
Till we finally meet ... a fond goodbye
Green eyes flashing protecting hearth and
home ever so greatly
She was my beautiful Irish Warrior Princess
So delightful to know, to read her story
Her love of family was wonderful to behold
She told her stories in the old world way of
"telling" an Irish way about her
Will never forget them until my time is done
Time passes on, babies are born and the
circle of life continues...it should be ever so
Death comes to all of us, that much is certain
Peel back the curtain, peer into it's face
fighting to stay ever so much
Missing the laughter, even the tears - nothing
seems right with the two of you gone...
wishing to turn back time ever so
