Lost Something Today

[Guest cjnoble71]

Little wolf cub

How will you know

To find your way

Through such deep snow

The trackless wild

Has been your home

In strange new lands

You now must roam

For your whole pack

You clear the way

To gentle lands

We all can stay

Little wolf club

Though we must part

You stray not far

From broken heart.

As some of you know, I have been struggling with depression lately. It's been tough but I finally think I have made a good turn. That said, today I lost my cousin, my oldest, dearest friend in the world. He was a gentle soul and for his memory, and that of my late mother, I WILL get my stuff together. He loved wolves. This poem is for him.

Christine, he may be gone physically but he will always be with you. You remember him, your love for him stays in your heart and when you need his support he will be there with you.

He has gone before you, but many have marked the trail ahead of him. He knows the way home and the way back

I have to quit writing now as I am at work and this has my crying

Hugs sis

Christine.....

I'm so sorry for your loss.....

He seemd to mean a lot to you...

But, on the plus side...you seem to be in a better place and that makes me feel good...you were pretty down....

I hope that you keep up that attitude and I know everything will work out for you!

LOVE & HUGGS!

What a beautiful poem!

I understand your feelings of loss but it is important to believe that things have gotten better for him.

In memory of this gentle soul and that of your mother you must focus on making your life better, lose that depression and carry them forever in your heart.

Can you feel the love for you?

It will never die, they are with you trying to help won't you accept their help and honor their memories by living a full and happy life each day celebrating the time you had with each of them rather than mourning the time apart.

Make each day a beautiful tribute to them.

Love ya,

Sally

This is truely a wonderful poem Christine.

Though it leads me to believe that you and the wolf cub have more in common than you realize.

Both of you trying to find your way through life, to the gental lands.

The wolf cub has nature to guide him.

You have your mother and cousin guiding you.

Look closely for the signs, they are there.

Your loved ones must be soo happy to know that they have been part of of your life and will be there to help you in the future.

Keep them close to your heart and you will find your way.

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. He was a great friend and will be missed. And yes Donna Jean I am in a better place. I've told others already that I would have expected this to send me reeling again but it has had the opposite effect. It has reminded me how precious life is. Also, I don't think allowing myself to self destruct again would be a a very good way to honor his memory.

Pax et Amor;

Christine

Moonbeams silhouette the shadows

against the crooked trees

reminding of fallen folliage

like souls lost to the winter's touch

as wolves mourn the celestial silence

of another star burnt out.
