Our broken heart
has not mended;
the hole of your absence
will never fill.
But crushed and anguished
though it is,
there is room for love
still.
So we open to new
affections even
while we’re missing you.
We welcome new joy
and celebrate your memory,
as we remember you
in reverie.

Time will help to heal your broken heart.
Well written flowed lovely
Shawn sad but simply beautiful my sister…hugs!
A lovely tribute.
It is okay to be open to new affections, while treasuring the departed. There is room in the heart for all.
