 ~Rest~
~Rest~









 . 


I haven't visited for a while
Coming is so bittersweet
As always I hesitate at your door
Scanning the perfectly manicured
green carpets and perfectly placed flowers

It is quite beautiful, very peaceful
no matter the time of day
All your neighbors names
reside upon their doors, all
with loving verse

I glance towards all the people
here I know, saying hello
as I pass by to you
I reach my destination

I sit down, and clean off your door
I don't have to speak, I know you
read all my thoughts, all the things
I want to say to you

Bren is 9 now, Hunter is 3
They bring me much joy, happiness
in a World so bleak, so dark
I miss you so much, I want to hold you

I tie words to your balloons
release them to the heavens
higher and higher they float
swiftly, in a hurry to reach you,
it seems

I light your candles,
a tear slides down my face
I rise to my feet and say goodby
I will see you again soon

Fly on my child
Soar with the Eagles
Hold the childrens hands
as they cross the streets of gold
Rest

Until we meet again
