The Gift

Do you know
what I miss most?
Thoughts, words
And all that is lost

A beautiful mind
I so desperately
Still yearn to find

It seems like yesterday
That you had to leave
I know, it was because
you wanted me to breathe

There were
hundred maybes
And a thousand ifs
And all certainties
went adrift

And yet
you left me with your
Power to uplift
to love life
the most precious
gift of gifts
