When You Miss A Loved One
The following poem is a collaboration between myself and a dear friend, Sheri Stanley. It is dedicated to all those who have lost a loved one, a reminder that life goes on and the heart does heal. When You Miss A Loved One Kristina Hooper and Sheri Stanley United States Just take a little stroll into the garden to the Dynamite Crepe Myrtle Let its radiance shine upon your face Relax and feel the breeze, touch the smile, and know they are there by your side A flutter of tears soon overwhelms to ease the sorrow that penetrates through your falling tears; every tear is a memory, gently caressing the aching heart frozen by grief, trapped in sorrow the warmth permeates, and slowly the heart begins to heal again, a sign that life is present and worth living Just as the Crepe Myrtle stands strong through storms, so shall we survive and carry on.
