There comes a time
When so unexpectedly you cross my mind
No matter the day
No matter the circumstance
My thoughts return to you
Moments of love flash by
Filling my heart
As well as my eyes
When nothing else remains
I only have the memories
Consumed by the pain
I would give everything
For one more minute
Your voice calling out my name
One last embrace
The sound of your laughter
Another moment in your presence
Even a phone call would ease this pain
I’d live this life over a million times
And do it all again
Exactly the same
Just to have you here
So I wouldn’t have to miss one single day
I know how to stop and turn off my brain
But this heart is another story
Since it is experiencing a new level of pain
Moments of strength
Followed by crashing bouts of weakness
Much like the ocean
Calm and serene
Peaceful tides and waves
Its turns in a instant
Leaving sorrow and rage
I’m no longer living
Only treading water
For I am forever changed
Never again to be the same
Senselessly stolen
But I will not let it be in vain
Looking toward a new focus
Setting out to make the difference
Bringing forward much needed change
I stand fast in this affirmation
For you
For the families
For all affected
My promise until my dying day
That not one more person has to face this outcome
Say goodbye
Or walk away knowing it didn’t have to end this way
I may not have known you
But I love you the same
For I have a son, a mother, a brother, a niece, a nephew, extended family, a friend, and to imagine living my life with one of them taken is far too much for me to take
I look forward to another day
When as promised
We can stand face to face
Because my God sent his only son to wash away our sin
He promises life everafter
And in His name I continue to pray
The only thing that remains
Is until then
You will be missed
Your life will live on through memories
As well as serving a purpose so that we may all see brighter days moving forward standing together
Demanding they take notice
Bringing about action
It will forever be in honor of your legacy and name
We will be here diligently working while sorting through the pain.
xoxo
