Emotional outbursts, <br />Tears flowing, <br /> For no apparent reason <br />Feeling down, <br /> Feeling sad, <br />There is no magical pill <br />Wanting to be alone, <br />Yet afraid to be <br />Wanting to hold on <br />To someone already gone <br /> <br />Day by day, <br />Step by step, <br />It will get easier <br />Loving family, <br /> By blood and choice <br />Moral support <br />Shoulders to cry on, <br /> Hugs freely given <br />Hands to hold on to, <br />So you can let go <br /> <br />Memories alive, <br />Memories stay <br />Good times and Bad, <br /> Smiles and funny faces <br />Cakes of every flavor, <br /> Fudge to kill for <br />Slow acceptance of change <br />Unnerving anger but always there, <br />No matter what <br /> <br />Time for rest, <br />Time for sleep <br />Long and fruitful life <br />Impacting peoples lives <br />Your work is done.<br /><br />Kim Reinagle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saying-good-bye-to-a-loved-one/
