goodbyes are never forever
…our friend/son/husband/father had to leave this earth because doctors deemed his life less valuable than to receive a lifesaving double lung transplant; not even a placement on the transplant list. this is for Kerry.
it’s hard to imagine
life without this soul
the heartbeat of a family
a bright light
dimmed
still present
though absent
never lost in our minds
too soon, too soon
cries the heart
the pain
the why of this tragedy
surreal
gripping the mind
revealing the sadness
discovering the despair
we weep
and we wish
and we take
One
day
at
a
time
then
to overcome the waves of grief
along with the resilience of a mother
the rise of a son
the remnants of shattered hearts
we pick up the pieces
one tiny fragment at a time
scattering some
gathering more
mending with care
the shape of new hearts
for each soul now torn
here and there
far and wide
putting it all back together
as one
one giant heart for you
absorbing our hearts
to be
greater
more glorious
and one day
we shall see
when true souls collide
love will survive in life
after death
forever knit together
each of us has a heart for Kerry
his heart lives on in yours
every breath
a reminder of him
day in and day out
breathe in, breathe out
forever, ever
rest easy
dear Kerry
our hearts
will never
ever, ever
let you go
