Thought Of The Day

They all say, or so they say, “You’ve changed a lot”
My question is, “Is that really me” or has the circumstances of events in time changed that former me.

There is an open space within my heart.
It started the day we are forced to be apart.
As it was not by choice there was no plan.
You were taken.
There was no more you and no more me. 
The open space is now full of the memory of our legacy; it’s now the forever you and me. 

There are no quick fixes to grief.
No easy answers.
It’s called the price we pay for love. 
We do not need permission to grieve, it’s simply our right.
Grief if you must, but only for a while.
It’s far better to treasure the memories within the heart.

You cannot change the beginning, you cannot go back,
The beginning has passed you by just like a bird flies from a nest.
But you can start where you still are and change the ending  

There are and always will be those moments, those specially times in that day.
Where I wish I could pick you from the stars and give you that last hug that final embrace.  

We cannot change the past. Father time simply won’t allow it
We can carve the future and make a change.
Especially if you’re the troubled one. It’s time to change,
Start today, Make a Change today, and tomorrow will be remembered.
