Don't worry about what those joggers say...
I'm sure they will understand! You are a special person!

Yeah...it's hard when you don't get to say goodbye...
I would have loved to have told my brother that I loved him and to hear him say it...because he hardly ever did...perhaps he was shy, or afraid of the words, I'll never know...
Oh...and I'm sure she knew you loved her.

The most significant person in my life passed away in a tragic car accident march 26, 2001...it's been four years since then...of placing flowers by the accident sight...every year...choked in tears...still unable to grasp the realization of never telling them how I felt...not once did I say, "I love you"...I whisper it there...where she died. Beautiful poem...lovely imagery...you're very talented. Cossett

what you said to Tapsel is so true, because my mother also goes there everyday without fail

My mom has gone to my brother's grave nearly every day since he has died. A mother's love is the most amazing thing to witness...

I go to my brother's grave to talk to him, but for some reason people like to use the cemetary as a park...there are runners and joggers, so I'm always embarrassed to talk to my brother "out loud" in case they look at me as though I've lost my mind!

I so associate with this, MiaElla. I have even printed a poem or two that I wrote, laminated them as protection from the weather and put on the grave of my son a time or two and once on a tree that overlooks the grave.

I know it sounds awful, but I dislike going to my brothers and sisters
grave - of course I go out of respect - but the truth is I know they are not there and to go there always seems so glum and final.......I like the image of them flying free you know?
anyway nicely done (poem) , you always express yourself so well.
