Acrisia's blog: "Your memory remains"

Each time I think of you

My mood becomes quite blue.

My heart cries for another time

When I was so proud that you were mine.

The days of the past

Seem now to have been too fast.

In the blink of an eye, the beat of a heart

Our time together was ripped apart.

It is to my dismay

That I constantly re-live that day.

The image of you laying so sweet

And I realized your heart had stopped its beat.

I moved your body, now so wilted

While my heart is feeling so jilted.

I tried so hard to breathe life back into you

My attempts were failing, there was nothing I could do.

At that moment my life made a change

A new reason to live, I had to arrange.

At your funeral I stopped and reflected

On how many lives you had effected.

Your life here on earth was cut far too short

But I have great friends who offered support.

These friends knew and loved you like their own

And knew you wouldn’t want me to suffer alone.

The time I got was not a waste

You made me stop living in haste

The impact of your loss will always remain

And because of your death your siblings will gain.

I now know that life is too short

You never know when the ship will be called out of port.

“Don’t sweat the small stuff” is what they say

Now I try to live by this, day to day.
