Dearest M,
Where has the time gone
since your passing?
Years pass yet-
I’m barely aware when they
take flight!
I’ve aged-
into Happiness and
Adventure!
You’d be happy
with my choices!
I remember-
your delicate hands
and roaring laughter!
Oh, how your laughter could
shake a room!
I miss-
those shared moments.
Remembering you
And sent in Love.
Poem #4, Dearest M by Ingrid Exner, Half Marathon 2020
nicely done. A sweet letter written to express the loss and celebrate the friendship.
Thank you Nancy! It was an nice Ode and opportunity to remember my sister and friend.
This is so powerful. The lines “You’d be happy with my choices!” Is a wonderful addition. Deep down, we all hope to say that. It really hit home with me. I also really enjoyed the lines “Oh, how your laughter could shake a room!”. It brings that persons personality front and center. Awesome job!
Thank you Jana! This poem is special to me and brought back some wonderful memories! Thank you.
