Thursday 16th June

So many reminders
So many little things
Recollections
Reminiscences.

Most often I smile
As I remember
The good times
Happiness you gave.

Sometimes, like today
A thought, sight, smell
Rekindles the knowledge
You’re not coming back.

And suddenly
Everything crumbles
The mask drops
The tears fall.

The pain never leaves
Mostly it’s hidden
Controlled
And contained.

But today it hit
So very hard
Without warning
Taken by surprise.

I’ll keep remembering
And hoping
For more smiles
Than the tears.

Love you forever
Sweetheart
Angel son
Flying high.
