MEMORIAL DAY (C) a simple poem BY EARL F. HUBBARD JR.
(Available in my first 210 page book of poetry called HEART + SOUL at MY BLUE STORE at the first link below)
after today
i'll never see
her
again
the month
of may,
will never be,
the way
it was
way back
when.
i know
i'll think
about her
every now
and
then
but
for the rest
of my life
i'll never see
her
again.
she
was my
favorite companion
and
my very best
friend
after 17 years
our time
has come to
an end
this
old house
is so
lonely
it calls
out
her name
a ship
with
no sails
a fire
with
no flame.
now
that
she's gone
it won't
be
the same
she is
peacefully
sleeping
my
memories
remain.
THE END.
This little poem was written last year
on Memorial day just a few days after
our cat 'Princess' died, and I am not
ashamed to admit that "I cried like a
baby' when she left us. I still look at her'
favorite places - under both of our tables,
on our bed, on HER chair. on the sofa,
in MY computer room, in the back yard
where she liked to eat leaves and flowers
simular to the one's up above, and sitting
on the front porch with me on those hot and
humid 'Whaling City' summer nights after
work as I nursed a cold beer - Yes, I still
stare at all of those special places (and
more) and hope that it was only a dream,
but sadly it was all too real - and our house
feels so empty without her. efhjr.

Thanks.
Let's remember + honor our 'dearly departed' on this Memorial Day Week End as we should do every day of our lifes.
Peace + Love + God Bless!
Earl.
