You are gone now

In all those little ways we notice

Awkward silences left where your voice once sang

Sometimes  we were so excited to tell you about...

Filled with sadness we realized  the  stories echoes

Hollow in the now empty shrine of your bedroom

Your  laughter and playfulness  is now only a memory

That dances sunshine across our dreams

We miss the comforting love of your arms

Laid to rest deep in unforgiving ground

Cold and empty the shell of you is all that remains

Tangible  in the world of all that you were

But in sleep and sleepless nights of memories

In the soft sweet scent of summer

Still vibrantly alive in our  recollection

You'd touched everything in the world around you

 Sprinkling your own special stardust and magic

In every sparkle eyed smiling child

We will see you, delightfully alive &  finally well
