Blessing In Disguise

Each morning as I look into the mirror

Your face, adored, appears to me

Reflections of my childhood

Holding strong still

Replays inside me endlessly

Left without saying farewell

Must have been the angels time to save you

Though I never will forget

Days of mourning must now be through

Since before the moment

Memory took hold

The source of strength and wisdom

A sanctuary, A home

With no regard to reason nor circumstance

All worry ceased and all was right

With the world

No words can express

My love and gratitude

I'll hold it in my heart

And keep you for all time

At least no suffering remains

Never saw it for what it was

A blessing in disguise

At least now confidence remains

Saved your body from its torture

A better place in store

Now moving on

And letting go of regret

Centering on all the lessons

I had been taught

Applying them to life

To future endeavors

Along with every step

That is taken

You'll live forever

Through your grace

Through your memory

There you will always remain
