Lasting Tribute Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Hitting home, death has taken another friend of mine,
saddened by the knowledge, taken utterly by surprise.

Depths of emotion building into a flood of tears, feel-
ings intensifying and sweeping me away.

Talking to her husband, him telling me of the deep hole
in his heart now, nothing being the same anymore.

When getting too lonely, telling me he goes to visit his
daughters, it helps to be with them, they were very close.

Living now on the circumference of life, having no one to
receive his love or give him that precious gift anymore.

Feeling his loss, knowing the tears will be falling for
the rest of his lifetime for her.

A lasting tribute to their love that will never die nor
be forgotten.
