gone but never forgotten

by sharon mcneal

it has been almost two years since roxie has passed, but she is still here, everyday i feel the presence of your loving spirit. but its the hurt i cant get over, i did all i could, till i could do no more, putting you through the pain i could not do that anymore, i could not be selfish, i had to put myself in your shoes, thats why i let you go. you kissed me goodbye, and told me its okay, youll be waiting for me, no matter what day. i held you tight, till you fell asleep, wrapped you in my arms for god to keep, i told you how sorry i was for all the pain, that you wouldnt hurt anymore as you fell asleep, that we would be together soon, and how much you are loved. watching your chest rise and fall for the last time, was so very hard, a part of me went with you, its still missing today. i know you are still here, when i go outside and travel the roads you did, the yard you loved, the sitting in the flower garden that you checked on every morning. your spirit is still strong till this day, you are missed and loved all the same. i will see you soon roxie! your body is gone but your not forgotten! mommy loves you!
