July 20


That day plays over in my brain

Like a CD on repeat

The day we said goodbye last year

To our angel oh so sweet


Summer is supposed to be for fun

And not for all this pain

Perhaps it will be so again one day

For now it may as well just rain




The bluest sky feels cloudy.

The warmest days feel cold.

Feeling guilty for laughing

At a funny joke that’s told.


Surrounded by many people

Yet feeling all alone

Needing courage to go be with friends

Or even talking on the phone


A song on the radio or people dancing

Things that are everyday routine

Now choke me up and hurt my heart

It’s like someone acting mean



That’s how life is now

Pressing on but still

Living with an emptiness

That nothing will ever fill



You’re my Mom and Dad’s first grandchild

For me, my very first niece

And as long as I’m alive and beyond

My love for you won’t cease



And just because I’m writing this

On the day you went away

Know that you’re in my heart
my soul
my prayers

Every

Single

Day
