Has anyone out there experienced loss? This one’s for you
[written when my heart was broken]
Not all gifts are meant to last
occasionally, a tree
will bear some fruit, then stagnate
with no continuity
And then the fruit – and not the tree
in small delicious bites
is the true intended gift
from the One who Shines His Light
And even as you mourn the tree
whose branches now are bare
allow the fruit its time and place
be grateful it was there
So deep and beautiful, i love it. So they were here for a mission now the mission was complete enjoy its fruits. The fruits are the symbol of a life well lived.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. such a difficult and yet it seems necessary lesson in life.
I thought of you when I posted this – remembering that you understood this so well. love
This was beautiful! It made me think of the people who I’ve lost in my life…specifically to cancer. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece!
