A Slice of Joy

I stood beside your grave one day,
not too long ago.
It was an extra visit, for
my heart was feeling low.

At Heaven’s Door

I dreamed that I could carry you,
but now I realize
my pocket had a hole in it,
just about your size.
Love from Heaven

You spoke to me inside a song
and brought my soul to peace.
The words I knew, whispered by you,
provided sweet release.
Carrying You

I miss you more
than words can say.
In every moment,
every day,
your absence leaves
an empty space
that nothing ever
will replace.
Grief Is a Journey

Grief is a journey.
Where does it end?
Grief and Gratitude
©2019 Susan Noyes Anderson
Nearly a year ago today,
you said goodnight and slipped away.
A sea of tears inside my heart
marks every day we’ve been apart.
Grief: Owning the Road

I went to see a counselor.
She lost a child and understands.
Committed to a healing path,
I laid my heart out in her hands.
Holding Hearts

My heart reached out, but
but you weren’t there.
Undone, I nestled
in your chair
and felt your warmth
surround my soul.
For one sweet moment
I was whole.
