The Anniversary
I cannot believe it’s the 1st anniversary
That death came and carried you away
Sometimes I feel as if time has stood still
And your death was only yesterday
My heart was replaced with emptiness
Where love for you had been
I did not willingly replace you
Grief showed up and moved right in
Slowly I’m pushing out this grief
Replacing it with memories of you
My love and thoughts are refilling the space
I’ll never let this grief replace my love for you
I have never lost my love for you
This grief has only temporally separated us
Grief does strange things to a parent
But never will it replace the love I have for you
Time has a way of bringing healing to a heart
Even though the pain and sorrow may stay
God will always get me through each day
When I reach heaven He will take all my pain away
Until God brings us together
I want you to always remember
No matter the feelings or things I may say
My child, my love for you, is forever
