A poem I hesitated to share...it is very personal emotional for me. The moment when my daughter Milla was here, but gone.
Here but gone
Lifeless eyes that once shone
Eyes that once danced in recognition
Eyes that spoke where words were absent
The light into a soul of such gentle beauty
Extinguished in a silent moment
Stilled in arms that shook in grief
The same arms that cradled and held
Held you as you passed to eternal sleep
Arms that ached from carrying you and
Ache forever to hold you again
A face of calm repose
A smile gone that was once ever present
A smile now denied
Disappeared to memory
But always recalled
Your eyes closed
As mine closed
Tears falling to land on hand held
A final touch...a final goodbye
Let me be as much your memory
As you are mine
