Season’s of Loss
You’ll hear your loved ones voice one day
Echoing through the trees -
Then turn to look, but all you’ll find
Are autumn’s falling leaves.
You’ll swear you sense their presence near
One night in winter’s air -
Search high and low about the snow
But you won’t find them there.
You’ll see their smile reflected then
In springtime flower’s bloom -
The sweet aroma draws you in
But they too, leave too soon.
You’ll feel their strength once summer’s day
As waves crash on the shore-
Emotions seem to ebb and flow
Deep as the ocean floor.
As season’s come and season’s go
Remember this, my friend -
Your loved one will live in your heart
Until you meet again…
