what are
the lessons I’m learning
today
gently listen
to the voices
in my life
love speaks loudly
and in myriad ways
directly heart to heart
time, even if it’s short
is important to utilize
to pour out our heart
don’t hesitate
to lean in to listen
and to speak love
love intensifies
and you can feel the vibrations
of two hearts connected
you can feel
your heart connected to
all past and future love
love
that transcends all time
will give you courage
when I empty
my heart of the sadness of loss
all you will feel is my love
each moment together
leading up to the loss
is a complete gift
say all the words
on your heart
until there are no words
then speak love
in your touch, your eyes,
your intention
let the tears flow
unchecked
when you can
but also know
you are brave, strong, resilient
and you will get through this
having a friend
with you at the time of loss
is good for the soul
it doesn’t make you weak
it means you know yourself
and what you need
be gentle with yourself
know that you’re tender-hearted right now
breathe and just be
pray for comfort
for strength
to open your heart
remember outloud
all of the good times
you have shared
savor
every
last moment
kiss them goodbye
with a grateful heart
and let them go
give permission
to them
to let go
