TRAGIC Poem: I walk to the graveyard, by Kelly Keller

I’m told this is where you lay
I’m not so sure
You were here just a few years ago
As the soaring birds in triangular flight
You were here just a few months ago
As the sparkles on the fresh snowfall
You were here just a few weeks ago
As the cloud that followed me all day
You were here just a few days ago
As the breeze that closed my eyes
You were here just a few hours ago
As the person with your same warm smile
You were here just a few minutes ago
As the smell of lavender raced out of the kitchen
You were here just a few seconds ago
As a memory
