Reminisced As Gifts Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar
Reminisced As Gifts
Constant was that pain grimaced,
In those loved faces missed...
I knew.
So close to them I cherished each moment.
Even down to the seconds,
When death took them away.
To leave me numb and staring.
With emotions drifting...
Out of touch.
Taken away...
By those I loved so much.
And agony did stay with me for a while.
Until one day I felt them all,
Smiling.
And I knew then,
It was okay for me to do the same.
As I keep them reminisced,
As gifts.
From a sharing treasured!
This poem really hits hard. I can especially identify with the feelings of numbness and being out of touch with your emotions during the shock of a loved one dying. But yes, they do smile, they live on in how they have influenced us and given us memories to share with the rest of the world. True Gifts.
truly spectacular and eloquent..so smooth and heartwarming..10+++
