Why does life never prepare us for death and why does death seem so hollow and empty?
A mound of dirt and a stone for a memorial seems to appease when there’s no where else to look!
Your passing was so unexpected
all the things we planned for, death wasn’t one
and so many things now regretted
as a million hugs I wish I’d given
more sensitive to a sad countenance
your down days I could have lifted
taken guilt as you the deserved innocence
I never ever thought this much loneliness with your passing!
The children I never realized the load
how dependent and you the one there
I’m the one now to console
then each night I listen your voice to hear
or reach for you in the night
then agony and tears as an empty void from within
through the hurt even mad I fight
myself and the blame I can’t beset, for your passing.
Why didn’t I put more emphasis on love
why so many days busy and not kiss you
the wind calls your name surly miss you it must
the cat and dog wonder now not knowing what to do
I can’t help but wonder, if just once God made a mistake
and why are most people as if this is normal
and every morning leaves me hating another day
If you’ve passed on waiting for me, why am I in such turmoil?
Some have told me to put this behind, go out and look for another
who do they think they are, 42 years divine
I’m to forget your memory as muddy water in a gutter
a woman find and love her as you
she’d be crazy to take me as if I could love her is insane
Oh if I could rip the wall between earth and heaven blue
your funeral a stupid hoax and no one done a thing
your gone and I can’t find you, nor relief find me in your passing ..on!

I recently lost my grandfather. It was really touch. I, too, wish I had put more emphasis on love, but we have to remember that they knew we loved them.
Great poem, it really elicits emotions.
Thank you and your right about more emphasis on love, thanks again.
