Recalled memories
and taught lessons
you knew my voice
that one last year.
~~~
Unexpected turns
survival of the souls
unprepared for loss
you stayed,
for one last year.
~~~
You remembered her
all your travels
all the emotions
all my stories
and you reminded me
that one last year.
~~~
And we told each other
peace and love
until one of us hung up
you showed strength
through your weakened body
that one last year.
~~~
Our last good-bye was routine
I told you we’d talk again
peace and love
until next time
that one last day.
~~~
I reached for the phone
you weren’t there
you’re in eternal peace
and eternal love
You showed me goodness
You may be gone
but you’re with your love,
and I’ll always remember
our one last year.
❤ ❤ ❤ Love, Ellie ❤ ❤ ❤
