TWO WAYS OF MISSING HIM-Poem [5-4-22]

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter



She feels his absence

now throughout the day

One plate to wash

one cup to fill

No muttered angst

at football scores

No quirky plans

to thwart the deer

The shelves in order

no socks adorn the floor

 

I know he’s missing

only when I hear

his stories

in my inward ear

know we share

the present

as we did the past

 

and some day soon

the future
