The trees are weeping tears of loss and grief
The storm attacked them while they were in leaf
Birds fly by my window, very close
I have not cut the shrubs so near the house
So this garden is my private wood
Shared by birds and beatles and by God
For I find God in silence, long and green
And in the little places in between
Yet I am sad my man has had to die
After several years my heart still cries
The house, the pictures, stoneware seem to speak
I cry for him when sound is absent,bleak
Now the grief is less I miss him most
He seems so far away, in tears he floats


The pain in your lines is evident. Truly heart warming words. Love only grows, it never dies. ๐๐ธ
