Never Gone

In a lifetime there are many faces

some that stay, some that don’t,

ones you will forget, and some remembered

the pace blots out the memories of those forgotten

until you slow down to recall that special someone

There is no one that escapes time

yet smiles make the day long

to remember all the joyful moments

you had together

brings light to the saddest places

memories travel on the wind and soften

the darkest hour

for the one you love that’s lost, breathes

and follows you home in your heart.
