When death claims your other half, you think you will never be at peace again, and then one day you can think of them and smile

I thought of you today
as I looked at photos of our life
I thought of us today
as I relived the birth of
our children
and watching you
watching them

I thought of you today
as your mother missed you
on this Mother's Day
her only child gone from her
I saw a tear and
I shed one too
as I thought of you today

it is easier than it was before
knowing you will never again
walk through that door
and kiss your mom's cheek

Yes I thought of you today
but this time, I was not sad
this time, I smiled
at all of the times
I saw you turn into a child
when you were here
with your mom
it used to annoy me
but now so endearing
yes, Honey, I thought of you today
