It doesn't get easier <br />to look at your picture, <br />but I keep it on my wall - <br />a trinket to remind me of you. <br />In the beginning, <br />I thought that if I could <br />hold on to every one of your belongings, <br />maybe I could bring you back. <br />It seems there's always <br />something missing; <br />one final puzzle piece <br />I might never find. <br /> <br />I've been told that life <br />on Earth is short <br />and that it should be treasured, <br />but I can't say <br />the proverb is one I've come to know <br />thus far. <br /> <br />I'll meet with you again <br />and I wait to see the paradise <br />of which we all so faithfully dream. <br />I'm just not quite ready to go yet - <br />not without making you proud. <br /> <br />Please forgive me if I <br />cease my search <br />for that final puzzle piece. <br />I think it would just be <br />selfish to find it <br />and take you <br />from the stars.<br /><br />Amanda Lukas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/8-discontinuing-my-search-for-the-final-puzzle-piece/
