Had The Ending Only Been Known Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Remembering images of a loved one holding onto your
arm, walking into a party, face aglow, eyes twinkling
merrily in anticipation of having a great time.

Love catching at the hearts of both, never leaving or
even thinking of doing so, if the ending had only been
known.

Life would have been filled more with moments of loving,
being held close, quiet conversations, hugs and embraces.
never letting you go into the great beyond without me.

A sudden displacement as you are being taken from me
by death and it's cold embrace, holding you instead of
the warmth of my arms being around you.
