Anniversary

Can you miss a shooting star you never saw?
Can you ache for the hand that never reached out?
Can you weep for sightless eyes, lips that never smiled?
Can your heart break over laughter you will never hear?

When your soul screams out questions you know will
Go unanswered

Who do you blame for the
Impossible
Improbable
Unlikely
Reality
When there is no one to blame

Where do you direct your
Anger
Sorrow
Confusion
Regret
When there is no compass

How do you mend a
Body
Heart
Soul
Mind
When there is no medicine
When there are no words

How can you mourn that which never was?

We remember you, Lily. We remember, and we miss you, however brief your stay.

Love you, Starlight girl,

Grandma
