Our Spot

poem by: R.T. Aquinas
Written on Apr 19, 2018

I went to our spot today.
Our spot where we used to pray
Privately, between each other:
You, my sister. I, your brother.
I love you and I miss you,
O God, you know it's true
I look down at the river which we used to play near
I look over to our Church, you are always here.
I love you Maria, never had a chance to say goodbye
Now sister, I kneel down and I begin to cry.

Someone has left you violets. I've no idea who.
But they most assuredly are certainly for you:
"Dear Maria, We miss you.
We hope you're now in Heaven above.
And we send you all our love. x"

I miss you, Sis, and love you with all my heart
Why lovely sister did you have to depart?

The way your pain is expressed in this makes me feel the weight of your loss. This is so well written, but I am sorry for the reason it is written.
