In Memory

In Memory of Peggy Frizzell who passed two years ago today, on August 20th, 2018.
Memories
Memories were taken.
Others left behind.
A smile sparkling in
Irish eyes.
Songs song
with an Irish lilt.
A genuine laugh,
often directed at yourself.
Tears,
at sad movie scenes.
Memories aren’t
permanent.
I saw yours stolen
until you didn’t
know me.
A broken brain.
A heart-rending journey,
watching the progression.
Something remained.
Faces unfamiliar,
names gone;
you still lite-up
when friends and family
came into the room.
You never forgot your dog.
Some things can’t be
quantified or qualified.
Can’t be known.
They can only be felt.
A bond that runs deeper
than human knowledge
can’t be torn apart—
even by death.
You will never be truly gone.
That’s beautiful Colin. It’s a gift you have and thank you for sharing.
