HER GIFT

Kristy, Suzanne and Laurissa celebrate life

I look for you and seek you out
In tangled lines of thought
Your presence was my string of pearls
Your beauty left no doubt

I find it strange to be without
Your sweet beguiling ways
Condemned to walk without you here
What’s left of my todays

Yet when I hear your voice in me
And remember how you laughed
At anything and everything
That didn’t need to be

I want to keep this piece of you
And never let depart
The truth that life’s most precious gift
Is loving with one’s whole heart
