You Are Missed #Prose4T
By Jeannette | October 23, 2014
It’s nearly been a year
Since you’ve been gone
No chance to say goodbye
The stroke that took you was too strong
You are missed
For your honesty and your advice
It was always there, harsh or mild
But the follow up smile was so nice
You were the hub of the family
A router for news and chat
A void that can’t be filled
And that simply, is that
The children talk about you
They wonder how you are
Perhaps you’re looking down on us all
Smiling from that brightest star
We had so much to tell you
New school, new achievements and the like
You’d have loved seeing D
Smiling on her new trike
On the anniversary
What will we do?
I expect we’ll chat, cry and hug
Light a candle for you
