2011 - Day 173

Can you mourn them everyday,
The ones who traveled far away?
They once lived here,
But did not stay,
And why they left
They did not say.
Moved from this life to the next,
Changed my life in all aspects,
Fills my soul with much regret,
Now never know what to expect.
Learn to love the life you live,
Don't take a second for granted,
The connections you've made, your family and friends,
Their bright love makes your world enchanted.
Loved ones lost, neither there nor here,
Will always continue to hold them dear,
I can see them when I look in the mirror,
They make me strong, help me beat my fears-
This day, second longest of the year,
More sunlight to reflect my tears.
