Poem: Time Stands Still

Time Stands Still

By Abby Weyr

4 January 2017

Death comes to us all

No matter money

Or social status.

Time stands still

For those close

To heart.

Time slowly leaks back in

Backwards at first as

Remember shared past joys.

Sadly you face life ahead

Without the loved one

As life does go on.

Grief comes and goes

As ocean waves on the shore

Crashing or gentle nudge

Time stands still

For each wave

Let it be.

Faith and hope and love

Whispers that you

Will see them again

Let that give you

Strength to carry forward

As Time restarts.

My grandnephew, Jeremy Rice, passed away 3 Jan 2017

This poem is for his parents, Jay and Valerie. Love you.
And for other of my friends that have lost loved ones.
