Hardest Of Goodbyes 

Anthony12 Comments

When a someone dies 

The wind is knocked out of you 

Then everyone cries 

Knowing not what they can do.

–

Desperately searching your mind 

for the last thing said 

Something substantial and kind 

That might ease your head.

–

It hits you between the eyes

Harsh reality

You’ll never see them and sighs

Such finality.

–

So sad you almost can’t cry

Yet endless tears fall 

You do all you can to try 

But you’re three feet tall.

–

Try to hold it together 

Others are far worse

Moments forever

An eternal curse.

–

Wishing hard we couldn’t feel

A shock to the core

Much more than life, death does steal

Someone we adored.

–

Feeling that there’s more out there

Does help some get through

Offering comfort to share 

And positive thoughts too.

–

Positive thoughts, prayers as well

Through these emotions

One day you’ll heal, time will tell

Life is an ocean. 

–

Forever they are alive 

In memories and hearts

As the living must survive

Moving, forward, starts…

I have the wonderful memories, I have had the proof of his presence from time to time which makes things a bit easier, and I have seen him in my dreams. The other two hardest was my dad when I was 10 years old and my mom whom I relied on for her wisdom but then I also still had my husband around and he was my rock,

  4. Well written. It made me think of my daddy. The ocean and the sunset. He was buried at sunset as we scattered his ashes over the sea. It was the hardest goodbye I’ve ever had to say.
