Hello everyone! Today's poetry post is a poem that I wrote in honour of two my dearest loved ones, whom I lost during the month of March (but in different years).
I hope that when you read this poem, it will remind you of your loved ones that you may have lost, and reignite that love that you had for that person. Remember, they never die and fade away - their memories live on.
Please read the poem, and feel free to share any comments that you may have.
The sands of time began to fall the day you were born
You were adored by all
You protected by all, and oh,
how your parents and siblings fawned over you.
The sands of time began to fall
the first day your child was born
then followed their siblings, who were everything and so much more
You were mothers not just to them, but to us all
You became the definition of joy
when you walked through the door
The sands of time began to fall the day you found your love
The man who made you smile
The love that always stood by you
hand in hand - showered in gifts and so much more
The sands of time began to fall the day you fell ill
As you braved your battle & overcame it
Smiling through the pain
Your illness was fierce, but no match for your strength
The sands of time fell as you laughed,
as you cried, as you loved.
The sands of time reached their end
when you fell into an eternal slumber.
The sands went still when you joined the angels.
- M. Rantao**
Love, light and blessings xx
