We visited your grave
Flowers and wreaths were placed,
To show the love we gave
And the love we give- with haste
All those who meet you were graced,
To have met you
But now death have you faced
And come hath you anew
You have come into a new world
While we stay in the one you left
The winds furled and curled
And in theft
Stole you from us
Our tears have dried
With sadness that we repress
My tears are filled with guilt
Of the sadness filled within
The relationship between us not built
While I stay in the past remembering when
When I was a child- waiting,
Looking out the door
For you to reach the house- adoring
A smile and happiness welcomed for
Our home and family
Your departure
Has left us no happiness- emptily
Mom and Dad will never be the same
None of us will
The tears have yet to be overcame
Life to them has no thrill
While I am the source of the blame
