One year...
A space in time only partially understood...
Even with the days and moments counted...
Past seconds linger...
Echoing through life's experience
Memories hold their worth
There is this ever lasting embrace imprinted upon us
Happiness keeps the flame of you alive within us
Even between the moments of silence...
Parts of us still ache...
Mourning everything that is missed and that will never be
Desperately wishing we could dig deeper
To unravel the tangled mess of all those things we will never understand
Because it's always in those odd moments...
When the bittersweet remembrance stirs the feelings within
It floods the body with emotion...
And we realize the beauty within nostalgia...
That even now the tears shed, waters the seed of you
Planted within our heart of love
Still growing with us...
From a life lived...
To the last drops of sand that fell within your hourglass
Leaving your fingerprints upon us
And like a sunflower rising to the sun
You have taught us the best lesson you ever could
To appreciate where you are in your journey, even if its not where you want to be
Gratitude is perspective
Effort put forth is reflective
We carry the power to change the narrative
Life is not about what you die for...
It's about what you have lived for...
Because every season serves a purpose within existence.
