I’ve made a few little changes to this poem, I originally posted August 24th 2017, I think my updated version added some softness to my poem.
Every time I opened our photo album
I saw her personal emblem
Every time I turned about-face
I felt pain and soft rain again
Every time I switched on the screen
I waited for a different dream
Every time I tried another channel
I cried during the battle
Every time I played another sad tune
I sang until the next full moon
Every time I walked out the back door
My head would be in the clouds
Every time I looked up to heaven
My angel stood waiting at the gate
I’d see the rain on her face
I’d feel the memory rain again.
Ivor Steven (c) 2018

Your beautiful poem brings to mind something that was said to me long ago. “The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love left behind.” Your Angel must be smiling at you. Thank-you!
