A Poem My “Surrogate” Mom Shared With Me

Grandpa Clarence

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say good-bye.

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knows why.

Our hears still ache with sadness,

And secret tears still flow.

What it meant to lose you,

No one will ever know.

Deep in our thoughts you will always stay,

Loved and remembered every day.

The poemshared here was in the paper today and Nellie Mom shared it with me with a note saying:

Kris, this was in todays paper, and I thought it said what you have been trying to say, so am sending it on. LLM

The words in the poem is exactly what I tried to express the other day but could not come out.
