Loved

Tall grass,

Casts a thin shadow.

Cut down but more remains.

I find strength in what you taught me,

Better ways to be.

Those endless talks,

And lasting thoughts,

Made me, me.

Though life’s trials,

You loved me every step of the way.

I felt loved,

I felt.

Blood of my blood,

The absence felt,

The lingering loss,

Of the hand that was dealt,

The tightest grip,

Never tight enough,

For this mortal coil,

Was defeated by love.
