Time. Stillness. Waiting.
Rushing. Passing. Fleeting.
Frozen. Captured. Treasured.
I can remember the touch of your shirt.
The gold in your band.
The smile on your face when you would reach out your hand.
Now the seconds they freeze.
I remember the sound.
Your watch as it ticked.
The roar of basement football and baseball games.
The geese outside on the ground.
We would look out the window
To the lake that held so many years of joy.
The resting place you made.
Home.
I am thankful for this moment of time in frame.
Beyond it’s touch,
Yet still calling my name.
The imprints on my heart forever it will make.
Time treasured with one I love.
I’ll always keep it tucked in a safe place.
It is beautiful to remember.
