Hidden
Folded in, hiding from the outside,
Keeping everything that she can, safe.
Not just her beauty, not just her thoughts,
But her growth, potential, even faith.
The sun, heat, and wind had beat her down.
Without any sign of rain, relief,
She had given up and adjusted,
Accepting her loneliness and grief.
Then the sun shifted, clouds took the heat,
And the wind brought in the needed rain.
She was hesitant, fearful, unsure,
Worried she’d lose, before she could gain.
But the weather stayed patient, kind, sure,
Even through her doubts, her pain, her fear,
He kept peaking through, showing her love,
Reassuring her he was right here.
He saw her, knew her, through the damage,
And treasured, cherished her, and could see
Not just who she had been, or was, but,
Also, always, who she could be.
Two Years Passing
Time flies by, and drags on,
Opposites true in an instance.
We wait for something that never comes,
And miss significant, small moments.
What is two years, besides the passing
Of days? What remains? What will be?
Two years is the time that has now passed
Since I lost you, and a huge part of me.
The ache stays in place, the tears still fall,
Roses, growth, change-all have new meaning.
I’ve changed, a lot, I’m growing up now,
I hope my life would have you proud, beaming.
I talk to your memory, I miss your advice,
And most country music now makes me cry.
We’re doing alright, Mom and me, but we’re
Different, changed, with each day going by.
I wish I had one more chance to thank you,
For everything you did, and still do,
You shaped me, loved me, cared for me,
And I will forever and always love you.
