Two Candles and a Cross
This is for you,
Because I just heard the news,
Please don’t make me miss her,
More than I already do,
Loved. Cherished, marveled,
Strong, beautiful, smart,
So many words for just one heart,
A prayer,
Meant to last a lifetime,
Ends up being a lifeline,
Two crosses and a candle,
Sit here before my eyes,
They hold so much hope,
Not a cheat, not a lie,
A picture,
Once just a picture,
Now beholds more love than I know,
A rock,
Shined and cracked,
Needs the hope that she never lacks,
A pearl,
From an oysters mouth,
There to comfort because things went south,
A cut,
To mark what I do on this day,
For a friend,
For a sister,
Please don’t take her away.
