RETURN OF YESTERDAY
Yesterday you were a memory in time
Today time appeared to stand still
While with an odor – sound – sight you were here
Thus yesterday again became very real
Feelings and visions tugged at my heart
Thus bringing grief to the front
Overpowering waves of memory rising
Sweeping my emotions with the tide
Riding the rolling waves to shore
Arriving there all battered and bruised
Surviving once again the waves of grief
Memories pushed back to yesterday again

Thanks for sharing something so personal
...with an odor – sound – sight you were here
Thus yesterday again became very real...
Emotional triggers are everywhere that bring once again the waves of grief. Hopefully, fond memories come, too, to comfort the sorrow. Thanks for sharing.

Very Well said I really appreciate the poem.

Thanks for Sharing
Stay Safe
I've lost both of my parents and my sister ( she was 16 years my senior).
One of the hardest things to deal with is that now there is absolutely no one left to ask "do you remember when.......?" They are all gone and I'm afraid that without being able to share those precious memories ~ both good & bad ~ they too will vanish.
Stay safe ~ Mady
