I can't forget to remember

While days go on,

with things to keep engaged.

Amidst it all, comes one

that time can't assuage

The guilt of moving on 

A day no longer condoled,

All that gnaws at the heart

while a brave face is donned.

Conversations don't feature

her as much these days

But a picture remains

to remind us of her ways

Gone too early, too little time

Quests, many left to conquer.

Though a full life she did lead,

to that everyone will concur.

A small gesture I create

A token verse of respect

But, nothing is ever enough

while tears flow unchecked.
