it's the first year anniversary of her crossing over, and I just want to remember her with love
**********************************************************

tears have dried and some vision is restored
aching in my heart, no stabbing pain though
'twas nice to sit in the sun
feel the warmth and not dismiss it
warmth circled me
infused my spirit
comforted my soul
good memories sneaked into my mind
fought them I did
it felt like I left the grieving
too quickly and was hard-hearted
reality? life goes on. period.
if a dead one would have you
wailing and wringing of the hands
they ain't worth longing for...
celebrate their lives
their gifts were many
gifts of love and hugs and belly laughs
singing happily off key
laughing hysterically while the hut burned down
dancing in the light of the stars and of the sun
drinking rain water when we could
the taste so much better, so damn much better
quick looks over the OR table
saying, "you can do it."
I did it.
they did it when my eyes
gave them a shot of keep-it-up
They kept it up.
We gave. We got.
Stood together
slumped against each other
raised hell together
all in the name of I-Will-Get-Home
We Did Get Home
